Niacin has been extensively used for the past fifty years to support healthy lipid metabolism and circulation. It helps widen your blood vessels which helps your arteries to naturally relax. Many forms of niacin have an undesirable flushing effect. In our product we use a safe and effective non-flushing form of niacin called inositol hexanicotinate (IHN)....

Pantethine is the biologically active form of vitamin B5. Plain vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid) is rapidly washed out of your body. The unique structure of pantethine enables it to stay in your body for up to 16 hours helping to support energy production and cholesterol fitness. Pantethine is used by your liver to assist healthy metabolism of triglycerides...

When stress is either extremely intense or has been going on too long, then the relaxed reserves in your nervous system tend to deplete. This gives your brain a wired feeling, meaning you are likely to be more anxious or irritable during the day and have poorer quality sleep at night. This has a major bearing on how your subconscious brain (hypothalamus...

Stress implies that there is an increased need for energy. Leptin, which is overall in charge of your body's energy spending systems, also regulates your adrenal and nervous system response to stress. When leptin systems work efficiently you have a better ability to tolerate stress, do not feel wired up or exhausted from stress, and do not eat in response...

You must get an adequate amount of sleep in order to lose weight. Sleep is prime fat burning time. If you don't get enough you throw leptin out of balance, are tired the next day, and want to eat more to try to get your energy going. This invariably leads to overeating and weight gain.Individuals with sleep deficiency or insomnia may also have concurrent...

When your cells are working well and making energy properly they are fairly clean burning engines, making less trash. As cell function declines they start to pour a lot of black smoke out their exhaust, in the form of lactic acid and other inflammatory by-products. This changes the pH in the fluid around cells, stressing circulation to and from cells....

A decade ago I recognized the extreme importance of leptin to human health. Leptin is the king of hormones which impacts everything else in your body. My first book on the subject in 2002, Mastering Leptin, was the first translation of highly complex science into readable English for the general public – specifically addressing how to eat to be in harmony...

2009 is another bumper crop year for health scandals, an unfortunate trend that shows no signs of improvement. To the contrary, consumers should do everything in their power to stay healthy as the Big Pharma-sponsored medical profession continues to induce millions of serious injuries and hundreds of thousands of deaths per year.

Monolaurin is a 12-carbon long fatty acid, derived from coconut oil but prepared into a mono-ester of lauric acid. Decades of research has demonstrated the germ-killing and disinfectant properties of this natural compound.

The fat-hormone leptin must get into your brain in order to activate your metabolism and help protect your brain from inflammation and damage. A new study documents that leptin even protects brain cells from low oxygen states that are related to stroke damage.

German researchers have identified a highly relevant new aspect of immunity. When you haven't eaten for a while then insulin levels drop and unique genes are activated that directly stimulate the production of powerful antimicrobial peptides, in turn destroying germs by dissolving their cell walls. Conversely, snacking raises insulin which then...

There are important distinctions among the various forms of vitamin B12. In particular, the adenosylcobalamin form of B12 plays a critical role in mitochondria, methylation tolerance, myelin formation, cancer risk reduction, and neurological health and it may be lacking in your diet.
