Muscles represent the largest reserve of protein in your body. Having adequate protein in reserves, especially in a time of need, is important for a sustained optimal immune response. Muscle fitness in general, as long as exercise itself is not excessive, tends to condition muscles in such a way as to contribute to a baseline of healthy immune function....

If you have a problem with your digestive tract it can be a major leak in your structural dam. This is because the health of the lining of your GI tract gets first dibs on structural nutrients, a survival system of nutrient distribution. Because many cells lining your digestive tract have a high need for glutamine, both for structure and energy, the need...

The outer cells of the inside lining of your GI tract are renewed every 24 hours. Cells several layers deep are renewed every three days. This fast turnover of mucous-producing cells is needed to maintain the structural integrity of the lining of the GI tract. If this natural process of repair is not functioning at an optimal pace then adverse effects of...

The benefits of glutamine go far beyond gut and immune health.

Is the shutdown stress hurting your everyday health? Glutamine may be the answer.

The recently discovered “gut-retina axis” describes a delicate inter-relationship between gut flora, immune cells that signal the retina, and the eye microbiome.

Mitochondrial damage is something that consumers need to be aware of. Many age-related and seemingly unrelated disorders occur as a result of cumulative damage to mitochondria. Unfortunately, the list of medications damaging mitochondria function continues to expand. Are your medications damaging your mitochondria and putting your health at risk?

Pantethine can dramatically change your health and improve your metabolism. Pantethine, like no other nutrient, directly fuels the production Co-Enzyme A (CoA). CoA is a pivotal energy broker molecule in your metabolism, used in at least 70 metabolic pathways involved in the metabolism of fat, cholesterol, carbohydrates, and amino acids. Pantethine...

Fungal overgrowth in the gut used to be dismissed as a cause of gastrointestinal distress. Science now confirms Candida and other fungal and bacterial overgrowth is a significant cause of inflammatory bowel disease. Discover how to keep gut flora balanced naturally.
