Rejuvenate your Aging Skin
Skin aging is a multi-factorial process, which means that comprehensive skin rejuvenation requires more than a single agent. With the discovery of 10 new validated anti-aging compounds, a nutrient-rich serum has been formulated that ensures deeper dermal penetration and optimal skin appearance.
Carnosine: A Longevity Factor
Carnosine is concentrated in the brain, heart, and muscles. Studies have shown that carnosine slows the aging of human cells and protects against age-inducing processes such as glycation and mitochondrial dysfunction. Carnosine levels in the body plummet as humans age, making supplementation a key component of an age-delaying program.
Fight Heart Disease by Activating a Protective Enzyme
An enzyme found in the body called PON1 provides natural protection against atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease. Researchers have found that pomegranate extracts boost the multiple benefits of PON1, which increases HDL efficacy and supports healthy endothelial function.
New Reason to Avoid Stress
Scientists have discovered that stress can accelerate aging by shortening the body’s telomeres. Fortunately, natural extracts can serve as adaptogens that normalize the body against the assault of both internal and external stressors. Research has shown that four natural adaptogens can modulate multiple pathways to protect against the physiological damage caused by stress.

The Testosterone Controversy
The benefits of testosterone in protecting against heart disease and metabolic disorders are well documented. Low testosterone is associated with excess abdominal fat, loss of insulin sensitivity, and atherosclerosis. This analysis discusses the testosterone debate and why it is critical for men to know what their testosterone blood levels are.
