Over the past decade, researchers have recognized that astaxanthin’s unique molecular structure traps more free radicals compared to most other nutrients.  Its full benefits, however, have been limited due to its relatively poor absorption ability.  By combining carotenoids like astaxanthin with phospholipids, their bio-availability increases by nearly 12-fold for more potent systemic protection.

Most skin care regimens target the face in order to reduce the signs of aging.  However, the thin skin on your neck quickly reveals the passage of time through accelerated sagging and wrinkles. Formulators have combined specific cell-communicating compounds that reactivate aging skin cells to repair and tighten the neck’s delicate skin.

Grape seed extract protects against colorectal cancer; magnesium intake lowers fasting glucose and insulin; anthocyanins reduce heart attack risk up to 32%; curcumin lowers rheumatoid arthritis pain better than common medication; participants sought for study examining calorie restriction’s effect on telomere length; and more.

In his new book, Dr. Neal Barnard reveals how new imag­ing techniques allow scientists to better understand the aging brain.  Here, he reveals his groundbreaking 3-step plan that incorporates spe­cific foods, nutrients, and environmental factors to help you prevent Alzheimer’s disease and dementia.
