Abstract
New Anti-Aging Technology to Incredible Youth Research indicates that around the age of 20, production of metabolic bio-hormones progressively starts to decline. Levels of important bio-hormones are considerably lower, resulting in less than optimal function of biological processes and ultimately, aging. With this decline in hormonal production comes an increase in the prevalence of age-related diseases: cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer’s disease, diabetes, even cancer. This is alarming considering the fact that hormonal deficiency affects approximately 50 million women and 40 million men in the United States alone. To make matters worse, doctors often overlook the underlying cause of illness and turn to synthetic prescription drugs – prescribing more drugs every day. It is estimated that nearly 20 million unnecessary prescriptions are written each year1 . Add to that the problem of prescription drug side effects, and it is not difficult to see that drugs are not the best solution. In fact, prescription drugs are responsible for an astonishing number of deaths each year – more than 100,0002 ! Supplementation with bio-identical hormones and plant-based formulations is a safer and more effective method for dealing with difficult-to-treat health problems, without the negative side effects. Saliva Hormone Testing is a non-invasive, painless, convenient way to test individual hormone levels. Measurements of free, unbound hormones give an accurate depiction of the overall balance of hormones in the body and serves as a guide for individualized hormone replacement protocol. Coronary artery disease affects approximately 7 million Americans. Arteries blocked with plaque leads to inferior oxygen intake and an increase in the risk of damage to the heart. In fact, every minute that passes means another four people have experienced a heart attack. Cordyceps have been scientifically proven to increase cellular oxygen absorption by up to 40%3 . Skin, heart, brain, eyes, extremities, and even our libidos require circulation to function at their best. Without enhanced, healthy circulation, how can we sustain 115,000 heartbeats per minute and the billions of cells that need repair or are renewed every day? How do we keep the muscle strength and circulation for 5,000 steps a day? Breakthrough technology with the combination of Arginine, Ornithine, and Citrulline allows for the immediate formation of Nitric Oxide to boost circulation and help keep the heart and other organs healthy and functioning at their optimal level. After the age of 35, the body’s natural pregnenolone levels start to decline, by up to as much as 65%4 . Memories start to fade and cognition starts to suffer. Supplementation with transdermal pregnenolone and other natural brain-boosting products can help to offset or delay the effects of cognitive decline. Pregnenolone supplementation has been proven to have neuroprotective effects5 , improve learning and memory6 , and reduce cognitive decline7 . Ingredients such as Glycerophosphocholine, Panax Ginseng, Rhodiola Rosea, and Hericium Erinaceus Extract help to protect against age-related cognitive illnesses, such as Parkinson’s disease and Alzheimer’s. The American Diabetes Association highlights diabetes as one of the fastest growing diseases in the world. Currently, diabetes affects 16 million people in the United State alone and an additional 14 million people have potential diabetes or with high risk of developing diabetes that have yet to be diagnosed. Worldwide, however, this epidemic killer claimed more than 100 million lives annually, and in the United States, it is the 7th leading cause of death. As we grow older, our body’s ability to regulate sugar decline and the primary cause of Type II adult onset diabetes. Diabetes finally strikes, accelerating the aging process with carbohydrate binding to special protein molecule to form a complex called Advance Glycation End product (AGE). This accumulation of AGEs on our tissues caramelize sugars resulting in gradual immobilization and destruction of our blood vessels, red blood cells, kidney, liver, eyes, nerves, and even our brains as a potential increase risk to Alzheimer’s disease. The combination of powerful Corosolic acid and MHCP works synergistically to improve the insulin sensitivity at the receptor site and to improve the modulation of blood sugar levels. Chromium is added to improve the glucose tolerance of Type I and Type II Diabetes8 . The hustle and bustle of our busy 24-hour world, paired with environmental toxins, the obesity epidemic, and hormonal imbalances have left us to realize the detrimental effects of cancer. More than 1.5 million new cases of cancer were diagnosed in the United States alone in 2011. Melatonin and other natural plant extracts are beneficial in the fight against free radical formation and the improvement of general overall aging and well-being9 .
