With age, people often unwittingly fail to ingest sufficient protein in their diets.

Protein is a major building block in our body. It is especially important to help preserve muscle mass.

If you are not already ingesting excess calories, an easy way to ensure against protein insufficiency is a concentrated powder made from high-quality organic peas.

Healthy arteries expand and contract smoothly with each heartbeat.

With age, soft tissues such as arteries stiffen and lose youthful flexibility.

The phrase “hardening of the arteries” describes loss of arterial elasticity and obstructed blood flow. This “hardening” is an important predictor of heart attack and stroke.^1-3

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimate that 56,000 people a year die from flu-related illnesses.¹ During the 2015-2016 flu season 310,000 people were hospitalized due to flu-related illnesses.²

Colds and the flu are often treated with a variety of medications designed to reduce symptoms but that have no ability to activate the body’s own immune response to fend off invading bacteria or viruses.

Scientists wanted to find a way to stop the common cold and flu before they take hold.

Skin cancer accounts for 40% of all human malignancies.¹

Over 90% of non-melanoma skin cancers are caused by ultraviolet (UV) radiation exposure.²

UV causes skin cancer by damaging cell DNA, inhibiting DNA repair, and impeding the removal of aged cells that cannot be repaired.^3-5

Scientists have identified a plant extract that—taken orally prior to sun exposure—inhibits UV-triggered DNA damage.^6,7

A staggering number of Americans suffer from a disorder called “metabolic syndrome” that is characterized by a combination of:¹

• High blood sugar
• Increased blood pressure
• Abdominal obesity
• Abnormal cholesterol and triglyceride levels

Those with metabolic syndrome are at increased risk for heart attack, stroke, type II diabetes and early death.²

Each morning, about 64% of adult Americans consume at least one cup of coffee.¹

The brain responds by releasing noradrenaline that provides a quick energy boost. This is often followed by a “caffeine letdown” whereby noradrenaline in the brain is depleted and subsequent coffee fails to provide sufficient mental boost.

Most people are aware that a buildup of plaque in coronary arteries leads to heart disease, the cause of more American deaths than any other ailment.

But few know that not all arterial plaque is the same. There is hard (calcified) plaque and soft (noncalcified) plaque.

Osteoarthritis is a joint disease caused by trauma, obesity, or most often a consequence of normal aging.

The most affected area in osteoarthritis is joint cartilage.

Cartilage consists of smooth tissue that covers the ends of bones in joints such as the knee, hip, and wrist. When cartilage is properly functioning, your bones effortlessly glide over each other with each movement. Cartilage also helps your joints absorb the impact of movement.

Probiotics are emerging as enormously popular health supplements.

When one ingests a probiotic, they add bacteria to their digestive tract that produce benefits ranging from alleviating intestinal distress to strengthening immunity.
