Get ready for tomorrow's Nutritional Science Today right here, right now, Happy Saturday. Welcome to another edition of Invite Health Radio. I'll be your host. My name is Jerry Hickey. I'm a nutritional pharmacist, and there's always an honor and a privilege to be speaking with you. Thanksgiving weekend. I hope you had a great Thanksgiving. I hope you have a fantastic holiday season. Honik is coming up. Everything's coming up, Christmas, New Year,
as you name it. So it's a good time of year now, you know, everybody decorates, people are a little more open to being joyous and getting together. It's it's nice, nice timing you. Now we're having a for us, a huge sell. It really is a very very big sale. It's probably the biggest sell of the year. It's our new Bogo Buy one, get one and it's on until Tuesday, so it's on all weekend. If you spend thirty five dollars or more, you get free shipping,
so that's a really good bonus. And if you spend two hundred dollars or more, you get an extra five percent off. So we're having our Bogo buy one, get one special and they'll explain it to you when you call up, or if you go on a website or you go into the stores, and don't forget, nutritionists are always available. Just ask for one. So because it's a Bogo sale every single product that we make, I can
talk about any product. So I'd like to discuss the stuff that I take because these are really useful, advantageous supplements for people over the age of fifty to take, and especially people over the age of sixty or sixty five.
I mean, it's just these are just fabulous supplements and they're key to ongoing good health, whether it's lowering the risk of a heart attack, lowering the risk of a stroke, protecting the memory, giving you energy, helping you sleep, regardless, these are excellent supplements, so I have to start it off with my concoction. I take a concoction frequently, pretty much every day.
I mix a supplement called active HX with powdered collagen with creatine monohydrate, and this gives benefit to every single cell in my body, every single organ and system, whether it's mental health, energy, strength, endurance, heart health, it's all covered here. I mean, this is fantastic infect If you did just these three in a multi vit adam and you'd be way ahead of other people in your age group if you're over the age of fifty.
So active HX is beta hydroxy beta methyl butyrate, which can be abbreviated HMB h is and Harry Amazon Michael b as In Boy. HMB is what protein is converted into, especially in amino acid called leucine, to give muscle health. And this is really important because starting our in our fifties, our muscles tend to deteriorate. Now, of course, you fight back by exercising and eating a wholesome diet rich in protein and antioxidants. Yeah, like fruits and
vegetables. So HMB spares our muscles. So let me go into that very quickly, because it really is key. We go through a process of muscle loss really kind of starting in our forties if we don't watch it, if we don't exercise, but it accelerates in our fifties, it really takes off in our sixties, and it's a disaster by the time we're in our seventies.
It could be called circlopenia, which is severe loss of strength and muscle, and of course this sets you up for becoming fragile and all those diseases of aging coming into your life, including a broken hip and a broken wrist, et cetera. So you want to maintain your strength. Muscle is a reservoir for energy. It's important for our immune system, it's important for controlling our blood sugar muscle. People with a lot of muscle, if they have
a serious condition, tend to survive much better. Like you know, have you ever heard of doctor say they'll be okay, they're young and strong. Well, young and strong is key, right, So muscle keeps you younger. I mean, there's no better way to fight aging than exercise, and HMB is a great assistance for exercise. They've done studies and hospitalized lead people and they see if somebody's in bed for two weeks or more, they lose strength, they lose muscle, and they generally don't get it all back.
It's hard to get it all back. So what they found is if they give bed ridden older people, people over the age of sixty the HMB, and we call that active HX, it keeps you active, it keeps you going. Okay, if you take the HMB in your bed ridden you don't lose the muscle. You maintain the muscle. You might lose a little bit. You might lose a little strength, but nowhere near you would have lost.
So if you were in bed with a broken hip or some kind of back problem and you took the HMB, it helps you keep your muscle. That's a really important point because it's hard to recover your muscle as you're older because the muscle repair pathways get damaged by the way. Green tea can help restore those muscle repair pathways. So that's another trick I use. I'm drinking green tea before I actually so activ HX is my really an important advantage I
have over people who don't take it. Where it keeps me strong. And let me tell you, I go to the gym. I walk miles every day, I ride my bike, I lift weights, pickleball, kayaking. I do all these things. Not an issue for me. Not an issue for me. So active HX is the HMB that's actually used in human clinical trials. It really works. Now. The second thing I put in there, and I put in a shaker and I add like like clean water,
high quality water. I don't use the tapwater because my tapwater tastes terrible. Oh it's horrible. So I put in the active HX two little scoops because they're tiny scoops. So I put two little scoops, and then I put a scoop into collagen. Because collagen is what you're made out of. So where the activ HX is specific for muscle, collagen makes up most of your body. It's the second most common ingredient in the human body after water.
You know, water helps you make blood or the fluids in your brain, et cetera. And so the collagen is converted. It's very useful. It has this helix structure that the body can twist and turn and use for different tissues. So somebody odd tissues that collagen is used for that you may not know of. Is the protective barrier in your brain to keep toxins out of
your brain. Protect the barrier, and your brain tends to break down with age and things Molecules get into your brain, and things get into your brain. They can damage your brain. That increases with age. But getting collagen, the immune system in the brain can use that to knit together what we call the blood brain barrier to help keep these toxins out of the brain. So that's the first thing. The second thing is the lining of your blood
vessels. One of the reason reasons we get into trouble and the cardiovascular system with age is we have less collagen to create the layers of our blood vessels. There's three layers to our blood vessels, so you need collagen for that to create the cells that create your blood vessels. A third use that you might not know of is the lining of your intestines. The lotting of your intestines is getting insulted every second by bacteria and toxins et cetera, and free
radicals and oxygen. So when you get the collagen, it helps you recreate your intestines because your intestines heal very rapidly. The filters in your kidney are made out of collagen. The valves in your heart are made out of your collagen. But you know, so is the tissue in your nose and your ears. Your skin is seventy percent collagen. Basically, your skin is collagen attached to high aluronic acid. So if you have no collagen, there's no
place for the high alluronic acid to attach itself to. Who make good, lustrous, healthy, young looking, wrinkle free skin because they've shown in adults using our collagen, the invite collagen pep. Ten B five thousand, that our collagen helps heal your skin. If you have skin discolorations or thin skin, you out of creepy looking skin, or if you have like like wrinkled skin, it helps, it helps heal that so you look better. But
that's also happening inside you. Because your bones are thirty approximately this is all approximation, but approximately thirty six percent collagen. That's exactly what the calcium hydroxy appetite. The calcium inserts itself into to create bones. So if you don't have collagen, the calcium and the vitamin D and the other things you're taking
to make bone, they don't work as well. So collagen is a tool for helping to prevent ostroporosis or to even rebuild bone until lower your risk of having a fracture because collagen also gives bone the ability to absorb a shock, like if you hit your arm and there's enough collagen. Collagen allows the bone to absorb the shock because it prevents the bone from getting rigid and stiff. Older bones that are lacking calcium in collagen get rigid and stiff, and it's
easy to fractionure them. It's either to chip them. So with the collagen you have that absorption of the force to help prevent a fraction. But the collagen also makes you join tissue. The cartilage in your joint is what prevents the bones from rubbing together. So when they say bone on bonus, because the cartilage is gone. The cartilage is sixty seven percent collagen, and this type of collagen is reworked by the body to create all different tissues. Ligaments
and tendons are made out of collagen. Spinal tissue, your spinal joints called faster joints that hold your spinal vertebrae together. Your spinal vertebrae the disks in between them all of those are usually dependent on collagen. So collagen makes your skin and related tissues like your nails and your hair. So you nails in here will look better too, you younger. It makes you bone. It's a key ingredient for bone. It makes your joint tissue. I mean,
it's so important. So every day I'm getting collagen, a scoop of collagen, and then a third ingredient. And this is really key. And if you had asked me about this ingredient five years ago, I would have had a completely different opinion on it. It's called creatine monohydrate. Creatine monohydrate is a way to keep your brain younger, you know, besides doing puzzles and engaging people socially and getting your exercise and eating your fruits and vegetables and getting
enough sleep. And this is great for your brain. Creatine monohydrate is known for athletes and people in the gym because it gives muscles endurance. There's a creatine phosphocreatine cycle. And here's how it works. Mostly in the body, but it does more in the brain than even in the body. And I'll explain that creatine re establishes posphol creatine that allows you to use sugar for energy. The body runs on sugar. The body's made out of protein, but
it runs on sugar. Okay, So the sugar is metabolized into something that we can use for energy, and the creatine amount of hydrate helps recycle that energy component. You know, I have to go to a break. It's our first break. We're having our Bogo, our buy one, get one Thanksgiving sale. It's a huge sale. Take advantage of it. If you need a nutritionist. We have plenty of nutritionists in the stores and on the phone and on the computer, et cetera. Let me go to a break

It's a huge sale, buy one, get one, and there's all kinds of extra things that come with that. So it's on until Tuesday. So I'm discussing the nutrients I use, which are very important for people over the age
of fifty. Don't get me wrong, somebodys have benefits for much younger people too, But this is a great format for me to explain why I use certain supplements because they're going to be good for you. They're basically going to be good for everybody listening who's over the age of fifty, which is probably ninety five percent of listening dings. Okay, So I'm talking about my shake that I make in the morning. And when I say shake, I'm not
putting any cream or anything in there. I'm putting water. I use the active HS for my muscle to maintain my muscle and my strength. It's research quality. In fact, it's been used in many clinical trials published in medical journals. Research quality HMB hydrox methyl buttery. And then I spoke about our collagen. So those two things were in to shake. The collagen helps create my body. It keeps my boy young, ke's my skin young. It's good for my hair, my nails, my bones, my joints, all
over the body is used. It makes up over thirty percent of your body to collagen. And then the last thing is creatine monohydrate that I put in the shake. And the creatine is a super powerful age defying nutrient. And I said, it re establishes the phosphor creatine creatine cycle in your muscles to give your muscles and door runs. This is real. There's tons of studies on it. But it does the same thing in your brain, the creatine
phosphor creating cycle in your brain. So let me explain. It gives your brain energy. You know a lot of people don't want to get off the couch because their brain is tired. They might think their body's tired, but their body's fine. It's their brain. Your brain uses an intense amount of the calories and food for energy. It's super energy efficient. It's just me. It's super energy depending. So there's billions of metabolic reactions taking place in
your brain every second, every fraction of a second. In fact, over the course of this program, you've already had trillions of reactions in your brain in the past sixteen minutes or so. That requires a lot of energy. So to get that energy, you have to use a lot of sugar. The brain is dependent on cholesterol, sugar, B vitamins, the minromagnesium, a bunch of things. But it's also dependent on creatine monohydrate. So to make things function in the brain, you need a process called methylation. So
I'm going to try and make this as simple as possible. Methylation is certain B vitamins like FALL eight and B twelve and B six. Methylation is methionine and amino acid and semi acidenosyl methionin. So if you don't have enough creatine for your brain, which happens in people over the age of sixty. We're making less creatine and we're eating fewer creatine rich foods. If you don't have enough creatine, you use up all the methylation and what happens well, you
can become depressed. There's a huge connection between inadequate creatine in the brain and depression, and creatine is very promising to help people with depression. So if you lack creatine, one of the first things that happens in the brain is you start to get poor mood, you start to get mental issues of depression. And in fact, they've shown now in studies that a person on an antidepressant, the antidepressants don't always work well, but when you add creatine monohydrate,
the antidepressant structure really work much more effectively. And this happens within the first couple of weeks. And some people just take creatine monohydrate and it helps them with depression. So older people who are prone to mood changes and depression taking creatine is very good for their mood, and that includes me. The second thing is brain energy. The creatine creates phospho creatine that allows us to use the currency for energy called ATP much more efficiently. It recycles it because
we're using up a treminous amount of ATP. If we didn't have phospho creatine in the brain, we'd use up all our ATP within less than a minute, we'd have zero brain energy. So the phospho creatine recycles the ATP for our brain energy. So besides mood, in our older brain, creatine monohydrate is great for brain energy. And like I said, a lot of people are sitting around watching poorly done TV shows because they're lacting creatine because they don't
have brain energy. They don't have brain it's not their body. The body is plenty of energy, they don't have brain energy. Now, the other thing is I looked at a whole bunch of studies and if you look at the data, creatine doesn't really help memory in young people unless they're vegan. If they're vegan, it helps their memory because they're not getting creatine in a vegan diet. The's not eating eggs and chicken and you know, salmon and
stuff like that. So vegans, even if they're young, if they take creatine monohydrate and you don't need that much. One scoop a day, which is a teaspoon, it helps their memory. But people over sixty creatine helps memory. So if you look at a normal, healthy person who's an omnivore, who's like forty five, creatine doesn't really do anything for their memory. But if you look at somebody over the age of sixty, a scoop of creatine every day is very good for their memory. So here's what creatine does
for the memory. One for the brain. One brain energy, which almost everybody over sixty complains about a little bit of energy. They mean brain energy. They have plenty of body energy, they don't have brain energy, so creatine is great for their brain energy. Mood. If you lack creatine and you're older, you're much more likely to get the blues. You're much more
like And I don't mean music. I love the blues music for you know, like from places like Memphis, but I'm talking about the blues like depression that age related kind of doldrooms. And the other thing is memory and older people. So that's my shake, and I really recommend it. If you're over the age of sixty, a scoop of creatine monohydrate. We have research
quality creatine monohydrate, very pure stuff. Our collagen has been used in research the scope of our collagen and two tiny scoops of active h X, which is also used. So all three of these are used in human clinical trials by major academic research institutions and double blind, place controlled, gold standard human clinical trials that to publish the medical journals, so you can't go wrong. Now, the next thing, you need a good MULTI when you're older.
When you're old, you know, a young person, a multi is good for their energy, but it's not going to do much more for them. So you know, if you have this brain intensive, focus intensive kind of job, like an IT person or a mathematician, and you're twenty five, a multi vitamin can give the brain a spark and it can make a difference.
But when you're older, multi vitamin is almost life saving. They've shown in big human clinical trials like the Physicians Health Study and the Health Professionals Health Study, where all the people who take a MULTI they're less likely to have cancer, they're less likely to have vision problems like cataracts, they're much less likely to have a stroke or a heart attack. But it's great for their brain, it's great for their heart, it's great for their energy and endurance.
All the people need a MULTI, and you're not going to get a better MULTI than ours because we do something really important and you're multi. A lot of us older people are under methy laters. We have trouble activating our melotonin, so we have sleep problems. You need to methylate melatonin aromee will work. We have trouble methylating our hormones for our metabolism, you know,
like our thyroid hormone. We have trouble methylating neurotransmitters in the brain, which course there's all kinds of problems in the brain, including lack of focus, memory issues, mood disturbances. So in our MULTI, we made sure that we put the forms of B vitamins in there that restore methylation in the body of older adults, people over the age of sixty. Methylation seems to decline
in older people, and poor methylation is a disaster. It's harder to protect yourself from cancer, it's harder to regulate the brain, it's harder to create, and everything suffers. Everything suffers. So we have methyl tetrahydrofoliated in there. Multise have follic acid, which is cheap stuff. It's cheap stuff,
and a lot of people can't utilize it, especially older people. And if you don't, if you can't chase the folic acid into the active form, which is methyl tetrahydrofolate, you can't protect yourself from Alzheimer's because a substance in your brain, a metabolite called homocystein, will increase which is like acid in the brain and eats a way to brain tissue that kills brain cells and it increases your risk of not just depression, but Alzheimer's disease dramatically. So because
we've put methyl tetrahydrofolate in our MULTI, you don't have that issue. So we have the active foling And the second thing we have that's active is methyical balomin, a form of B twelve that's really key to brain health and neurological functions in the brain, so the brain gets messages and works quickly. Methical balomin forms all the different forms of B twelve like Cobama mind, so you don't have to worry about B twelve if you get our MULTI. But we
also have in there lutine research quality loutine. These are research quality ingreetings. The lutine in our multice comes from marigold flowers. It gets into the eyes of the brain. In the brain, it protects the brain from the effects of aging. As we age, and methylation decreases, and creatine amountohydrate decreases in the brain, and all these other things decrease in the brain, the brain gets inflamed, the brain cells die at an accelerated rate. By putting
the loutine in there, you help to forced all that. You help to prevent that. So lutine is key to maintaining memory into deep old age. But it's also key to maintaining vision. I do a tremendous amount of reading for research, and my eyes get tired. I'm on the computer for hours, and I just love it. I mean, it keeps my brain the lutine. If I take a lutine, my tired eyes go away and my
tired brain goes away. It's just amazing. So lutine is needed for good vision, and it's harder for people to obs You are lutine from food. As you grow older, lutines and like green leafy vegetables and corn and stuff like that. It's hard for you to absorb lutin from your food. As you get older. By getting a lutin and a multi, you're making up for that and a help maintain an agile while functioning brain and vision health.
So there's a lot of things that are multi you're not getting in other multis. So what I'm doing here is covering nutrients that I think are really important for people over at age of fifty or sixty. So there are nutrients that I strongly believe based on human clinical research, that are integral to maintain your health. We have to go to a break. We're having our Bogo Buy one, get one and if you buy more than thirty five dollars, you
get free shipping, and there's an extra five percent off. If you hit two hundred dollars you can. We have the same sales s our Thanksgiving sales on till Tuesday. You get the same deal. Whether you go into the stores or ship to you. You can call on the phone, you can go on the website, whatever you want to do, you get the same deal. It's a great deal. It's a great it's our biggest sale that's on until Tuesday. So I'm going to go to a break. Jerry Hicky

Okay, welcome back, Jerry Hear the Invite Health Radio where having our Thanksgiving sale, big sale, big
sale. You get a real It's just super high quality products. They're very clean, many many, many ingredients have been using the clinical trials by major academic research institutions that have published in medical journals. And we're talking about gold
standard research. Okay, so these are high quality supplements. Now I'm using this as a platform to discuss what I take, and I'm not going to go into like anything for like a niche condition like arthritis when I talk about what I take, Okay, I mean I will after I have the general conversation. I'm talking about things I take that useful for anybody over the age of fifty and extremely useful for anybody over the age of sixty year sixty five.
I mean it basically must have. And one of them is ubiq win wall. You could take regular Cohenson Q ten. It's a super well known nutrient. It was discovered in finn to seek times in Japan a Japanese researcher, so I think early twentieth century, like nineteen ten or something. But a great deal of research went on in Texas and our ubiqu when all comes from Texas Kanika, a Japanese company. After all, they discovered coq ten
and the human body and in all other living organisms. They make it in Texas where the line's share of ubiquinyl research took place in the fifties and sixties and seventies, and ubiquin all makes it easier for you to create energy out of food. I mean, that's what it does. It gets deep within the cell. It gets right inside the cell, very intimate. Most things don't get inside the cell, but ubiquinal gets inside the cell and cleans it
out. It cleans the free radicals out. See have a Loger cell life, and a Loger cell life adds up to prolonged health and prolonged energy and prolonged life span. So the ubikonal cleans out the free radicals from deep inside the cell a part of the cell called the mitochondria. You know, depending on the part of the body, your mitochondria. Your cells are a load of with mitochondria according to their needs. So high energy organs have more mitochondria.
Mitochondria is where you convert sugar into energy, so it's inside the cell. So like a brain cell or a heart cell, skin cell, and testino cell, they have a huge amount of these mitochondria. And ubiquinyl allows them to function, It keeps them going. So the ubique all allows you to use sugar for energy and cleans the free radical side of the cell. So what does the research say, Well, the research says it helps offset
physical fatigue in older people. It's great for muscle conditioning, it's great for muscle endurance, muscle strength. Not only aging takes away our ubique wall, which is the active form of coenzone q ten. Coenzon q ten is not active until you convert it into ubiquin all, and not everybody does that very well. That's why we have depletion of ubiquin wall. As we grow older, it gets harder. We're less effiicient at converting coqi ten to ubiquenl,
so we tend to get fatigue and lose stamina, lose endurance. It's very easy to study that. Just if you're sixty five, get on the basketball quote with a twenty year old and you'll see what I mean. But a major reason for a drop in stamina and endurance and performance is a drop in a conversion of cocient to ubiquinal. So it's easy to get around that by giving you ubiquiny and ubiqul is absorbed the coast to every so on the body
and it's utilized for energy and health and endurance. So do human clinical trials show that in older people it helps get a fatigue and the people with like Gulf War syndrome, it helps them with fatigue. People post matic stress disorder, it might be a little beneficial. That's a different story. That's a whole different bowl game. All the people it helps us with fatigue, all the people it helps us get back into our game. All the people it
helps protect us from heart attacks and strokes and heart failure and dying. People have had a heart attack, it helps keep them alive. That's what the un clinical trial show. You got listen. If you have damage to your heart, you could be on the best drugs and they will help keep you alive. It depends on the kind of heart condition, whether it's a beta blocker or you know, certain diuretics that aldosterone spring diuretics or different drugs.
But the thing is adding you biquin wall is further insurance that you're going to stay alive. So ubikonel is very important for people who've had heart damage at any age, whether they had twenty or forty or ninety. It's very good for people over the age of fifty or sixty for energy and stamina and endurance and physical performance. It's very good for in older people, helping prevent a stroke or a heart attack in older people. So ubiquenol is something I take
every day. We have one hundred and twenty milligram. We add ANYDH to it. Any DH is a molecule made out of vitamin B three that is very important for recycling energy. It recycles to ubick When all so do, ubiquenol last longer. So when you're older, it's hard to take coke ten and convert it into ubiqu When all taking ubickenol, you got around that problem and you have more stamina, energy. Your performance is better, but your
heart is better. So it's really really good. It's a very important supplement. Your muscle performs better. Wall muscles. Now another thing I take, which I believe is extremely important for older people. You know, probiotics are important, Okay, and you can eat fermented foods and get some probiotics. But we have probiotic strains that have been used in human clinical trials that increase levels of hundreds of different beneficial bacteria. So, these probiotics are good for
women's breasts. They clean toxins and chemicals adible women's breasts. They're important for women's vaginal tissue to help prevent east infections. They're important to prevent urinary attract infections in women. They're important for anybody who gets stomach cramps after eating or gaseous or bloating. They're important for anybody with editable Boll syndrome. They've been studied in people with editible bosano. They help assuage the symptoms of veritable ol
syndrome. They're good for people who are chronically constipated or who have diarrhea. They're good for anybody who's been on antibiotic. So our probatic are research determined. I don't take them every day. Initially I did to really help with my immune system, my allergies, and my digestive issues. I had problems with all three. So and I'll give you some benchmarks. If you get on our regular probatic checks, our flagship product okay, our major product okay,
that will help calm down your digestive track within three weeks. It'll be remarkable. It'll be remarkable if you constipated or have diarrhear or irritable ball sandrome, or stomach cramps or gas bloating. It takes about three weeks to flip that into like really good intestinal health and good absorption of nutrients, et cetera. So that's three weeks. But what about immune system function? About two weeks. So now we're in flu season and respiratory setial virus, covid and
everything that throwing pneumonia. You know, they're throwing all this stuff against the wall and saying, hey, you need six thousand shots. Probiotics help bring back the immune system in older people. This is really important. Our natural killer cells don't work well. Natural killer cells are major fighters against viruses and for long term fighting and infection. A lot of other immune cells get worn out. The natural color cells keep on working, but also for recognizing and
killing cancer cells. So within a week or two, an older person whose natural killer cells aren't functioning to help protect them from cancer and viruses, the natural killer cells work much better. This is based on research and by feeda Bacterium animolus sub species lactics that we have in our probatic achecks. Within a month or two allergies start to improve. That's really the Lactibacillus plantarum and the
lactibus cells rhamnosis more than anything else. The particular strange we have in our and our probatic checks help people with allergies. So here's the timeline. Here's the benchmarks. Within two weeks, the immune system is more responsive to protecting you from everything. You'll have a better functioning immune system, which is really important in the winter. Right within three weeks year, digestive health is improved, and within about a month or two year, allergies tend to get much
better. So I had used the probatic checks religiously every day for months, but now I just kind of need it once in a while to restore things to good function because your good bacteria die off when you age. There's no doubt about it. Good bacteria die off when you age, just like our ubichroroll levels drop and our creatine amount of hydrate, and our collegen all these
things to decline with age. This is a way to really live a long, healthy, wonderful, useful existence, and energetic existence, a lifestyle where you have the energy to go out and do things. You know, I so that probatic a checks is very important for diabetics, for people who smoke, for people who drink alcohol, for people who take a lot of drugs, for anybody who's taking the course of antibiotics, for pre diabetics, for
obese people, and for anybody over the ages sixty. Because our good bacteria diuof in our sixties, so you really need it. I failed to mention who requires ubiquenol. I said, you ubiquinos the active form of co q ten, and I didn't really get into deep who needs it. I forgot to do that because I went to a break. People who have diabetes or pre diabetes need you biquin all because they can't confer coqu ten to ubiquinol.
And one of the manifestations in diabetes of not having enough ubiquenol is increased likelihood of damage to the kidneys, increased likelihood of damage to the heart, increased likelihood of damage to the eyes and the brain. People with diabetes have to have ubicwe people over sixty really should be on ubiquinal and certainly over seventy. So I just wanted to clarify that. Okay, Now, another product that I think is fundamental to good health and aging people is a well absorbed curcumin.
A well absorbed curculum. Now we have a h a turmeric with ginger powder, and you can add some black pepper to that and you'll absorb that. Okay, you can add some black pepper to that. You'll absorb that. So you could you could. You could take our ginger and turmeric in the morning and add a little lemon juice to it and mix it in if you want yogurt, or mix it in water, put some pepper in there, and you'll absorb that turmeric that's in and you'll get curcumin in your system.
That's a less expensive way of getting turmeric into your brain. I personally take by a Curcumin five blocks. Over the course of my life, I injured my shoulder, my knee, my moniscus, my back, sports and kayaking and these things. So to buy a Kirkman five blocktion is great for pain. I don't have any pain. I don't, but I'm not. That's not believe it or not. That's not the reason I'm taking it.
By a Kirkman five blox. I take it to lower my risk of colon cancer because it reduces information in colon and there's intestinal cancers in my family. I'd rather not have it, and I take it because it's so good for my brain. But at the same time, it's fantastic for every kind of pain. They've studied it. With headaches, it's helpful. It's helpful to
prevent chronic headaches like migraines or cluster headaches. It's helpful with nerve pain like sciatica if it's the nerve, you know, or plant our fesciitis in the heel, you know, with tendonitis, any kind of tendonis like in your thumb or you know, golfer selbo or tennis elbow, or your achilles tendon, you know, in your ankle. It's great for tendonize pain. It's
great for nerve pain, it's great for muscle pain. We have a lot of of dancers who progress through life and they're no longer maybe professional dancing. Maybe they're giving dance lessons or their choreographers, and you know, when you're sixteen, you've been dancing all your life. You've warned things down. The biocirrikmin five blocks will help with your back pain and your morning stiffness, and
your knee pain and your muscle pain. It really is fantastic. We have a lot of older athletes that use bier Kirkman five blocks and for muscle pain. The other thing, it's great for authritis pain. The biocircuman five blocks and works as well as adivile a leave and celebrates for muscle pain and joint pain. For muscle pain and joint pain, it works as well as them.
Studies have to say, like Johns Hopkins group a whole bunch of studies and they came around Johns Hopkins, a major academic research institution up in Boston. They came out and they said, hey, listen, these drugs have quint have consequences when you take these drugs for authritis, t as consequences like they can affect the heart, they can affect the kidneys, they can affect the eyes and hearing, et cetera. Five oxen. Both of those herbs
don't have bad consequences. They have benefits, but they work as well as the drugs for knee pain and hip pain and back pain and neck pain. I actually have a friend, she's a wonderful person who was taking She's older, she's over sixty, very charming, wonderful, intelligent person. She went to a GM and the trainer was having her doing exercises behind her neck, which I would never recommend. Do not do that. Okay, do not
do that. Don't lift weights behind your neck, don't do it. I'd be very careful any kind of exercise that puts a lot of force on your shoulders, be very careful. There's real consequences there for damage. So she wound up developing cervical migraines because the exercise damaged her neck. She now suffers from migraines every day. It's horrible. And let me tell you the procedures to deal with that. You don't want to go through them, and the
drugs to help with that, you don't want to take them. Okay. Biocurricutment five ox. It helps a lot of my clients with neck pain because they exercised, or they were always looking at their cell phone, or they've bent over their computer for decades at work, you know, like people in banking and all, they're always over the computer with their neck facing down and their head. The head gets a lot healthier. You know, your neck
is like a full crumb holding up your head. And when you're leaning forward with your head and that kind of posture looking at your computer. Your head is like twice its weight, and it damage is the neck. So the biocirrectment five ox it very good for that kind of pain. But the reason I take it is to lower my risk of colon cancer and because the benefits form my brain. And that's exactly why I'm saying it's so good for older
people. Older people are antiox defensive mechanisms have declined. These things defend the brain, they defend the entire body, but they're really incredibly important in the brain. Their brain is such high energy that there's always a little leakage of these energy biomolecules into the brain in general, and then they can burn and damage brain cells things that come out of the utilization of sugar for energy in the brain. These free radicals like single in oxygen can destroy the brain,
and our mechanisms for protecting our brain from that have tremendously declined. By the age of sixty five, getting to buy a Curricum five oxin allows it to get into the brain. We notice from human clinical trials, from human studies published human clinical trials gets into the brain and defends the brain from that kind of inflammation that occurs with aging, but that also occurs in alcoholics and also
occurs in diabetics. It helps defend your brain from inflammation. So biocrictment five oxin, I'm taking it to defend my brain from inflammation, because the inflammation kills your brain cells and will damage your memory and your focus and your attention span and your ability to solve problems, et cetera. All those cognitive skills will get damaged. But the bioicurractment five looxin does something else too. It
stimulates immediately memory. There's human trials where they give older people Bierkirkt mid five box in and give them a math test and their brain is less tired on the bio kirk mid five lox and their memory functions better for like three to six hours. They have to take me. My mother takes the Biocirckt mid five locks and I gave it to her because of her back issue. She takes it for a memory. She called me up and she goes, you know that stuff you gave me for the back pain. She goes, it's
great for my memory. Send me more. So I gotta pay for that. I don't get these things for three I pay for them. So the biocract mid five locks in seeds the brain with new memory cells. And this is key, This is really what I'm getting at here. When you're young, you release these nerve growth factors when you take a nap or when you go to sleep at night and you go into deep sleep, and this creates new brain cells literally, so like a key one is brain derived neurotrophic factor.
It helps heal your heart even though they call it brain director rolso heals your heart, but it's very important in the brain because it creates new memory cells, hundreds of new memory cells every night. The problem is, you hit your fifties, you're releasing less and less brain derived neurotrophic factor every year.
When you take the biocurricumin five blocks and human clinical trials prove that you're releasing more brain derived neurotrophic factor, which means you're creating new memory cells that have not been tinged by damage of any sort. So your brain and your memory can go unfunctioning into deep old age. It's called brain reserve. Cognitive
reserve. Cognitive reserve is a very important concept. So when you have Alzheimer's brain cells are damaged by different things like tangles and beta amyloid plaques, et cetera. If you're creating new memory cells, they haven't been damaged. The memory can go unfunctioning to a degree, plus it hasn't been damaged by depression. This is one of the ways that antidepressants work. They help you create new memory cells that have not been damaged by depression. That's one way that
they work. Believe it or not. Biocurricmut five blocks and allows you to release brain derived neurotrophic factor. So you take that nap at twelve o'clock and you have the noon for fifteen minutes, great idea, or you get in a good night's sleep six seven, eight hours. You're releasing that brain derived neurotrophic factor and you're creating new memory cells. Well, when you do to biocurricumut five boxin, you restore that level to someone who's much more youthful.
So it really keeps you brain functioning well. I can understand very complex concepts and retain the knowledge. And I think, yeah, it's my lifestyle. Of course, I don't smoke, I don't abuse alcohol, I get enough sleep. I exercise. I eat a good diet. I do have some alcohol, but I don't abuse it. And I get my vegetables. I get my fruit like I'm eating my blueberries, et cetera. I'm drinking my green tea. And like I said, I get my exercise daily seven days
a week. I do some form of exercise. But the biocurricmut fib looxin is key. The creatine monohydrate that I mentioned before, the loutine that's in a multivitamin, and all those other things in the multi vetamin and the Buyo Kirkman five blocktion are key nutrients for ongoing brain health. As we age listen, I have to go to a break. We're having our Bogo Buy one, Get one Thanksgiving shell. It's on until Tuesday. I hope everybody had

Nutritional pharmacist Jerry Hickey, Happy Saturday, Happy holiday season. It's my last segment. I
don't have a lot of time left. I'm talking about nutrients that I take that really are incredibly beneficial for anybody over fifty and certainly anybody over sixty, and incredibly important for people over seven. So I discuss discussed active HX and creatin, monohydrate and collagen. I discussed a multi vitamin ubiquin all a probiotic biocurrectman five oxen. I eat fish. I happen to love flounder. I
like salmon. There's different fish, grouper. You know. I like fish, but I still take krill every morning to make sure I get really important nutrients out of it. I get the fish shoil. So I want to make an krill easy to swallow. It's a much smaller capsule. It's very fresh. Our crow has been used in at least thirty uman clinical trials published in medical journals. We know it works. The krill fish shaws get into the brain, get into the heart. They're really key into your muscle,
into your bones. They're really key for the health of those tissues. They make the brain cell, they make the muscle cell. Those oils in krill, but you're also getting other things. You're getting the phosphatized like seerine to create brain cells, and they have the brain function to create muscle cells and have your muscle function to create nerve tissue and have the nerve function. But you're also getting coaling. And this is key to why I take krill rather
than a fish will capsule. Colin is a phenominally a bee vitamin doesn't have a number. Really, nobody uses a number for coaling, and colin is very important for your sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system, So the nervous system in your body, for your heart and your muscles and your organs and your kidneys and everything, but also the nervous system in your brain and in your eyes. And coling has a difficult time getting into the brain. The brain loves
coling. It's a B vitamin that the brain really munches on because in the brain it creates a seedyle coaling and a setyl coling level is naturally declined in the brain with eight. So what's the problem there, Well, you need a sealal calling to create energy. You need a sealal calling for the brain to be energetic, but you also need a setal calling for the brain to relax. You need a seal calling to focus on anything, so for the
attention span and focused, but you need to seal the coling. For memory, a setyl colin interacts with basically glutamate and gabba for you to solve problems, for you to learn, for you to remember, and coaling is instrumental in creating all of those important elements in your brain. It's key to it.
But the level of a setal calling declines with age. When you take the krill, it's a form of calling called phosphatyle colling that gets into the brain very effectively and efficiently to restore it the creation of a seal calling. So if you are trying to figure something out, it's harder to figure out when you have less of sealal calling. So you're trying to figure out your
new cell phone or your new car. You bought a new Honda CRV and you're trying to figure out the GPS system a lot easier when you have a setal coling. But you'll also remember how to do it better with a sealal calling, and you'll be able to pay attention long enough to get it done. So that is setal calling from the crill is really fundamental. Always take it with food. I take it every morning with breakfast. Now, the second thing that I want to hit on quickly. I take immunity HX every
afternoon because we need more of the ingredients. And immunity HX two times, one when you're older and two when it's winter. Immunity HX has zinc and vitamin D and vitamin C, and you have less of all three in the winter, just when you need them for the immune system the phyto of infections, so IMMUNITYHX gives you plenty of vitamin D, gives you plenty of vitamin
C and plenty of zinc. Older people have trouble absorbing zinc. Zinc is key to vision and immunity, So one reason why it's easier for an older person to get pneumonia is it's hard to absorb zinc for their food, even if they're eating foods high in zinc, like like oysters, hard to absorb it. With this supplement. The type of zinc in our immunity HX older people absorb, the immune system is stronger, It works more effectively and efficiently
and correctly and appropriately. The vitamin C getting a second dose to day is very helpful, especially if you're diabetic, or you're elderly, or you're overweight, and the vitamin D you're just not making it. In the winter, you're using up to vitamin C quickly because you stressed that because it's cold weather and the dryness of the winter. Zinc and absorbing because you're older or you
have diabetes. By the way, zinc is very important for controlling bloodchatter and vitamin D. If you're overweight, vitamin D doesn't work well, you need more vitamin D. If your diabetics doesn't work well, you need more vitamin D. And if you're older, you just don't make it well because your
skin isn't working well. Because your skin is older, you need to supplement with vitamin D. So I take an immunity hex every afternoon with my lunch, your dinner because I think it's really key for an older person like me for my immune system, my vision, my antioxygant protection. So those are the things I think are key for older people. Now, if you missed any of this, we'll have this program up on our website. You can go listen to the older you know, they have an inventory of older shows.
They put them up a website invite health dot com. The other thing I take, I take magnesium every day. It's hard to get enough magnesium from your fo so I take magnesium glycinate because it's so super well absorbed and it's not a laxative. Certain forms of magnesium are a laxative. I don't need that I eat my vegetables, I get my exercise, I take my
probatics. I don't have any problem with that. But the magnesium glycinate hundreds of different things in the body, controlling your blood sugar, having daytime energy, going to sleep at night, having the immune system function, preventing blood clots, having a heart normal, having a blood pressure normal. I said, controlling blood sugar already, but it's worth repeating. Vision health. Magnesium's key and all these tissues. Magnesium is key in keeping calcium in your bone.
Now, I'm just a bad out of time. I take other things too, Like I take cartagesh X because I have a little bit of aarthritis on my left knee and one caps the day in the morning and there's no side effects and it works. It's all one hundred percent of American. These products are really super clean, super high quality, used in UMAN clinical trials. You could trust in fight and we have the nutritionist there advise you.
