While virtually any type of stress is potential wear and tear for bones. One form, too many toxins, can wreak havoc with bone strength and optimal bone health. For example, the cadmium in cigarettes is known to displace zinc within bone structure. This means that smoking is inherently weakening to your bone mass, not only because it reduces the flow of...

Just as your home must stand up to the ravages of weather over time, so it is that your bones must accommodate the stressors and wear and tear factors in your life. It is simple math, do you have adequate rejuvenation to offset the demands and pressures you are under?Central to this equation is a gene signal known as NF-kappaB, which is the basic...

In order to sustain healthy blood sugar and insulin function it is vital to ensure your liver is in excellent working condition. Various nutrients, like silymarin, R-alpha lipoic acid, NAC, pantethine, acetyl-l-carnitine, and carnosine support the healthy metabolism of fat and sugar by your liver. Various herbs, such as gymnema sylvestre, pterocarpus...

Nerves must maintain healthy connections to tissues they are regulating, including the heart. When signs of nerve wear and tear (shaking, numbness, tingling, etc.) start to occur in the hands or feet, it means that the long nerves going to these areas are struggling to maintain healthy function. The basic nutrients needed for nerve transmission are B...

The health of your cell membranes is critically important to your rate of aging, overall structural integrity, proper metabolism, cardiovascular health, and ability to quench inflammatory wear and tear. Cell membranes are composed mostly of fatty acids that are held together by phospholipids. Phospholipids align fatty acids into the cell membrane bi-layer...

Do you experience brain fog or sensitivity to chemical smells? Learn how this may relate to Candida overgrowth and how lipoic acid can help!

There are a lot of great anti-aging and metabolism boosting nutrients: DHA, pantethine, acetyl-l-carnitine, carnosine, r-alpha lipoic acid, grape seed extracts – the list goes on and on. In fact, most nutrients help cells function better and thus live longer. So, why is resveratrol vying for the position as King of the anti-aging nutrients – with a potent...
