Lutein and Zeaxanthin Protect Vision While Boosting Brain Blood Flow

There is a direct connection between the eyes and the brain.

When doctors examine the retina and optic nerve they are looking directly at brain cells.

The retina consists of certain plant pigments that are good indicators of visual health.

Two of those pigments are carotenoids called lutein and zeaxanthin.

Supplementation with these carotenoids helps prevent age-related vision loss.1

Restore Youthful Immune Function

The diseases of aging such as cancer, pneumonia, and dementia are linked to a malfunctioning immune system.

This degenerative impairment is known as immune senescence. It accelerates aging by causing chronic inflammation while failing to protect against pathogens and malignancies.1-5

Not only do we lose the ability to defend against cancers and infections, but our failing immune cells create a state of hyper-inflammation that destroys neurons, the endothelium, and joints.6,7


Role of Folate in Healthy Human Brain Function

B vitamins are critical for the production of neurotransmitters in the brain.

Insufficiency is associated with cognitive decline.1-3

Folate has a number of mechanisms by which it can enhance cognitive performance. These include lowering inflammation and reducing homocysteine.1,4

Elevated homocysteine and chronic inflammation are linked to degenerative brain disorders.

Perhaps the most far-reaching implication of folate in the brain is its ability to modify gene expression.1

This means that folate plays a role in turning a gene “on” or “off.”

Aging skin is more than a cosmetic issue. It is a warning sign of loss to the skin’s integrity and functionality that can impact our overall health. Studies published last year show that astaxanthin—a carotenoid that gives the vibrant red color to salmon, krill, and shrimp1-3—also helps maintain skin function and structural integrity.4,5 Researchers have identified the ability of astaxanthin to address two different skin concerns: Wrinkles and loss of moisture from aging skin,4 and UV-induced skin damage, one of th..

Trimethylglycine (TMG), also known as betaine or glycine betaine, is a derivative of the amino acid glycine. The compound was originally discovered in sugar beets. It also occurs in such foods as quinoa, wheat bran and spinach. Trimethylglycine is made in the bodies of most organisms from the nutrient choline.
