The adrenal glands (also known as suprarenal glands) are the star-shaped endocrine glands that sit on top of the kidneys.* The adrenal glands produce a variety of hormones that are essential to life.* Such as hormones that help to balance your blood sugar, which helps the body to manage daily ebbs and flows of energy.* When blood sugar drops, the adrenals release hormones that cause the blood sugar to rise, and thus increases energy.* The adrenals also release hormones when we're under stress, also releasing energy.* This is the "fight or flight" response from the days when we needed to run away from wild animals, which now kicks in for our modern everyday stressors, such as traffic jams, arguments, and work pressures.
But, when the adrenal glands are not functioning optimally, we can develop a condition that is known as adrenal fatigue, or adrenal exhaustion.* Adrenal fatigue / adrenal exhaustion most often occurs in folks after bouts of intense or prolonged stress, but it can also arise during or after acute or chronic infections, especially respiratory infections such as influenza, bronchitis or pneumonia.* And its symptoms can include excessive fatigue to non-refreshing sleep, salty & sweet food cravings, poor digestion, allergies, low stamina and more.*
Adrenal Vita-Amino Complex™ was designed to help support tired adrenals. It contains adrenal glandulars with amino-acid secretagogues (substances that cause other substances to be secreted) supported by the proper balance of vitamins and minerals to help bring harmony and balance to tired adrenals.*
Adrenal Vita-Amino Complex™ provides:
Adrenal Substance: Glandular’s are whole organs that are dried at low temperatures and ground up and put into nutritional supplements.* In Europe they are used for the support of the particular organ related to the glandular.* Glandular therapy is one of the oldest forms of supplement therapies, dating back thousands of years, having been used by the ancient Hindus, Egyptians and Greeks and most recently re-popularized by the Swiss and Germans.*
Glandular tissues can be rich sources of nutrients, enzymes and other factors that support specific gland-related metabolism and physiological function.*
Amino-Acid Complex: l-phenylalanine, l-tyrosine, aspartic acid and methionine is a blend of the essential amino acids necessary to help the adrenals make their own growth hormones.*
Vitamins: Adrenal Vita-Amino Complex™ contains the vitamins and minerals that are essential for adrenal function and assist in the making of adrenal secretions.*
A natural bioregulator that normalises the function of the adrenal gland.

Eleuthero root, also known as Siberian Ginseng, is a supreme adaptogenic herb that also enhances physical and mental endurance. It nourishes the Kidneys and is beneficial for anyone experiencing general weakness or lack of vitality. It is a favorite herb of athletes as it enhances oxygenation metabolism and circulation of blood.
Eleutherococcus senticosus has a positive effect on the metabolic state through maintenance of normal glucocorticoid activity of the adrenal glands and increased brain catecholamine neurotransmitter formation, both important for energy production and motivation of physical activity. This herb is well known as an adaptogen to help with better withstanding stress during adverse conditions. The adrenal gland becomes exhausted during periods of chronic stress leading to reduced output of hormones. Siberian Ginseng reduces the adverse effects of chronic stress on the adrenal glands helping to preserve its healthy function.

Eleuthero
Eleuthero, also known as Siberian Ginseng, is an adaptogenic herb that improves the ability to handle stress. Eleuthero (Latin: Eleutherococcus senticosus) has been shown to help modulate the activation of the adrenal cortex in response to stress. Eleuthero helps to increase physical and mental endurance and helps to improve memory. Eleuthero benefits mental and physical endurance and has anti-fatigue activity. Eleuthero aids in the recovery from hard exercise. Eleuthero has been shown to improve mental alertness and work output, and aids in the recovery from mental exertion. Eleuthero helps to build blood and improves the ability of the body to absorb and efficiently use oxygen. Eleuthero supports immune function. Eleuthero is mildly stimulating. Most people will feel its effects quickly. However, its real benefits are cumulative and long term. Eleuthero contains chemical constituents, saponins, that are very similar to those in Ginseng and Gynostemma, known as eleutherosides. These active constituents provide the basis of Eleuthero's adaptogenic actions and performance enhancing actions.*

Eleuthero (Eleutherococcus senticosus) is one of the primary adaptogenic herbs used around the world. It is widely known as Siberian Ginseng, although it is not directly related to Panax Ginseng. Both grow in northern Asia. Eleuthero is a potent energy tonic. It is an excellent herb for those who exercise and participate in athletic activities. It supports mental and physical endurance. The root of Eleuthero is woody, so it takes over 8 pounds of root stock to produce just one gallon of Dragon Herbs Eleuthero Drops. This is genuine Eleutherococcus senticosus from Manchuria, a Di Tao source of this famous herb. Dragon Herbs Eleuthero is a full 8:1 extraction, which makes it the most potent Siberian Ginseng liquid extract product on the market.

The very name of Schizandra in Chinese, Wu Wei Zi, tells us a great deal about the qualities of this herb. Wu Wei Zi means Fruit of Five Flavors.” Due to the fact that Schizandra possesses all five of the classical “tastes” (sour, bitter, sweet, spicy and salty) and thus possesses the essence of all five of the elementtal energies (wood, fire, earth, metal and water), Schizandra is respected as a health-providing tonic in the same class with Ginseng and Reishi Mushroom. According to Chinese herbalism, all foods and herbs have one or several of the 5 flavors: sweet, sour, spicy (pungent), salty and bitter. Different flavors enter different organs. Sourness enters the Liver, bitterness enters the Heart, sweetness enters the Spleen, spiciness enters the Lungs and saltiness enters the Kidneys.
Generally, the five flavors also have different functions on the human body.
As to the Yin/Yang nature of the 5 flavors, sweetness and spiciness are yang while sourness, saltiness and bitterness are yin. It is therefore very important that in our daily diet, we consume all five flavors in a balanced fashion. One should not skip any flavor. Otherwise, imbalances will arise and certain organs may not be nourished properly.All herbs contain at least one of the five flavors. Remarkably, Schizandra fruit contains all five flavors. Schizandra has been used since the dawn of Chinese civilization as a tonic herb. From the beginning it has been revered, and remains one of the elite herbs of the Chinese system of herbalism. It was first written about in Shen Nong’s Pharmacopoeia (between first and second century A.D.) where it was listed as a Superior herb. The Taoists especially revered Schizandra. Schizandra was my teacher’s, Sung Jin Park’s, favorite herb. This is because Schizandra tonifies all 3 treasures, enters all 12 meridians and nurtures all 5 elements. Master Park considered it to be the quintessential herbal substance. Though Schizandra is believed to benefit all the functions of the body, it has traditionally been considered to have the most influence on the Kidney, Lung and Liver functions.
A Famous Beauty Herb
Schizandra is widely used to beautify the skin and to protect the skin from the damaging effects of the sun and wind. Due to the astringent quality of Schizandra, the skin tends to hold its moisture and becomes full and beautiful. It has always been very popular with the wealthy men and women of China, especially the women of the imperial court, because of its youth preserving and rejuvenating effects. It is said that those who use Schizandra consistently will remain youthful in both appearance and physiology. I have seen the benefits of this herb with my own eyes hundreds of times in my life. People who start taking Schizandra regularly all change for the better. Their skin virtually glows and becomes clear and fine after several months.
An Excellent Mind Tonic
With Double-Direction Regulation on The Central Nervous System
This herb is considered to be one of the premium mind tonics of herbalism. It is used to sharpen concentration, improve memory and increase alertness. Yet, unlike caffeine-like stimulants, Schizandra does not produce nervousness. In fact, some people consider Schizandra mildly “calming” while producing wakefulness and improved focus.The ability of the dried fruit to increase mental and physical activity in humans was reported in numerous studies conducted in the 1950s. It has been demonstrated that human intellectual activity can be enhanced and work efficiency increased by consuming Schizandra. Various tests have shown that moderate therapeutic doses of Schizandra can improve various activities requiring concentration, fine coordination, sensitivity and endurance. The tests in humans confirming Schizandra’s efficacy in these areas range from threading needles to running marathons. Schizandra has been demonstrated in laboratory animals and in humans to have a stimulant action on the central nervous system. The herb works directly on the nervous tissue. Conversely and paradoxically, schizandra also promotes sound sleep when combined with yin herbs or sedative (“Shen stabilizing”) herbs. Schizandra does not make people sleepy, but when it is time to sleep its action on the brain results in deeper, more satisfying sleep. Many studies now indicate that Schizandra actually has a powerful balancing, or regulating, action on the central nervous system. It can result in accurate and optimal balancing between the excitatory and inhibitory control functions of the cerebral cortex.
Schizandra, The Perfect Liver Herb
Detoxifying, healing, regenerative and protective
Schizandra stands along with Reishi as the primary liver cleansing agents used in tonic programs. Schizandra does not have the side effects that are associated with many of the “medicinal,” or “inferior” liver cleansing herbs. Schizandra, especially alcohol extracts, are widely believed to protect the liver from damage due to poisons, as well as the by-products of living.
Phase I and Phase II of detoxification
Schizandra has been shown to strengthen and protect the liver. It does this by detoxifying and rejuvenating this critical organ. There are two critical stages to the process of liver detoxification, known as Phase I and Phase II. In Phase I, a detoxifying agent goes into the liver and binds with toxins, releasing them from the liver and taking them into the bloodstream. Almost always, this newly bound toxic bundle is more toxic than the original toxin. This increased toxicity is known as bioactivation. It is obvious that this process can be dangerous. It’s similar to the removal of asbestos from an old house. It needs to be safely removed from the walls and from the building without exposing anyone to it again. Re-exposure to old toxins in their new bioactivated form can make you sick – and much of this material will end up back in the liver again, or stored in other tissues.
During phase II of detoxification, the bioactivated toxins, which may be highly active, are safely cleared out of the body. This, of course, is the part we all want to happen in quick and efficient order. If the phase II process is weak, faulty or absent, all we’ve done is re-poison ourselves.Many substances can go into the liver and release old toxins into the bloodstream, but that is all they do, and as a result the person goes through an increased toxic period. The so-called cleansing crisis experienced by many people who go through various types of cleanses, is largely the result of bioactivated toxins wreaking havoc in the body. It is therefore very important that agents which boost phase I activity also have significant effects on enhancing the phase II clearance of the reactive intermediate.Schizandra appears to be very effective in boosting both Phase I detoxification and Phase II clearance of activated toxins.Schizandra can reduce elevated SGPT (Serum Glutamate Pyruvate Transaminase) in patients with chronic hepatitis. SGPT is an enzyme concentrated in the liver. It is a reliable marker of liver inflammation, often tested by doctors to evaluate liver damage. In a clinical study conducted in China, more than 5000 people suffering from various types of hepatitis were given Schizandra and the results were very good. The aggregate effective rate was 84-97.9%. SGPT was normalized in about 75% of the cases.
A Powerful Sex Tonic
Schizandra is said to increase the Water Qi in the Kidney. In particular, it is said to vastly increase the “water of the genital organs,” referring to the sexual fluids. Schizandra is said to promote the production of semen. It is famous for its ability to relieve sexual fatigue and for increasing the sexual staying-power in men. It is thus an ingredient in the vast majority of men’s sexual tonics in Asian herbalism.Women benefit from the same capacity to increase Water Qi of the Kidney. Schizandra is said to increase circulation and sensitivity in the female genitals. Many women claim increased genital warmth and sensation after using Schizandra for a period of time. The Chinese sexual classics claim that continuous use by a woman will increase the amount of “female elixir,” a euphemism for vaginal secretions, during intercourse. On the other hand, Schizandra is used clinically to help counteract excessive vaginal discharge. For both men and women, Schizandra is considered to have “aphrodisiac” qualities, especially when combined with other Kidney tonifying herbs like Lycium, Cistanche, deer antler, Epimedium, etc. Furthermore, Schizandra is one of the most important astringent herbs used in Chinese herbalism. An astringent herb conserves fluids, and in the case of Schizandra, it tends to contain sexual fluids until the appropriate time of release. Thus, consuming Schizandra for a period of time, one tends to build up sexual fluids. Schizandra is used in sexual formulations to prevent premature ejaculation and to help promote incredible endurance.
What is Magnesium?Magnesium is an important mineral that’s crucially important for your body to function properly.It’s the fourth most abundant mineral found in your body[2] and it’s essential to all living cells and vital for myriad physiological functions[3].The reason why the benefits are so numerous and varied is because of the many ways that optimal levels of magnesium are necessary to function optimally.For instance, magnesium is required for the production of ATP (the main source of energy in our cells)[4], and the production of DNA, RNA, and proteins[5].Magnesium plays an important role in cell-to-cell communication[6].Over 300 enzymes (biological catalysts that make chemical processes happen in our body) require the presence of magnesium to function properly[7].Because of its positive charge, magnesium stabilizes the cellular membranes[8].How common is magnesium deficiency?While a deficiency severe enough to warrant medical attention is relatively rare, some health professionals believe that suboptimal levels of magnesium are relatively common, with estimates as high as 75% of people in the US not having a sufficient intake,[16] let alone an optimal intake, which has yet to be precisely defined.As with any essential nutrient, here at Feel Younger we believe that it’s always ideal to test your magnesium levels to be sure if it would be beneficial to take.The best tests for Magnesium are generally considered to be: RBC (red blood cell) or intracellular magnesium, to get a true understanding of overall deficiency.The more common tests are plasma or serum magnesium, which are much cheaper and easily available, but which are less of a true reflection of your body’s stores of magnesium, as your body will tend to keep your plasma and serum levels in a tight range in all but severe cases of deficiency.RBC (red blood cell) or intracellular magnesium tests, on the other hand, are considered to give a more accurate indication of true, overall levels of magnesium stores in the cells, which is what actually matters when assessing if levels are optimum.If you’re unable to access these tests however, then, given that Magnesium is a natural substance that is very safe for the vast majority of the population (see below for exceptions), it seems reasonable to try it, if you would like to support your body to Feeling Younger and Healthier, especially if you identify with some of the early signs of deficiency listed above.What causes Magnesium Deficiency?The most commonly understood causes of Magnesium Deficiency include[17]:
a poor diet
type 2 diabetes
digestive problems such as Crohn’s disease
long-term vomiting or diarrhoea
kidney problems
long-term use of diuretics
some medicines (for example, fluid tablets and medicines for ulcers or reflux) can cause low magnesium levels if taken for long periods
alcoholism
In addition, some healthcare professionals point to the fact that, even in the case of a relatively good diet, it’s an established fact that the soil in which our food grows is 75%-90% lower in essential minerals like magnesium than it was 100 years ago.[18]So whether you’re eating plants, which can only get the minerals from the soil, or whether you’re eating animals that ate those plants, the results is the same: the food we’re eating is more mineral depleted, and therefore magnesium depleted, than it was up until relatively recently in our evolution.Finally, there is strong evidence that stress itself depletes magnesium[19]. This creates a vicious cycle where stress depletes magnesium, and then lowered magnesium reduces stress. Presumably, in order to break this cycle, you would need to replenish magnesium as well as reduce stress.What’s the Best Form of Magnesium to Take?There are many different forms of magnesium available, including citrate, sulfate, oxide, chloride and malate.However, the form that’s considered the best, the most easily absorbed by the body, is Magnesium Glycinate.Forms of magnesium that are less well absorbed and cheaper, like for instance magnesium oxide, have a laxative effect. As a general rule, the less well absorbed the form of magnesium is, the more of a laxative effect it’ll have.When consuming mineral supplements, the best form is generally considered to be when it’s chelated (chemically bonded) to an amino acid. Why is this? Because minerals in their raw form are inorganic, meaning that the body does not recognise them as food, often doesn’t absorb them well, and then also struggles to excrete them.Conversely, when a mineral is bonded to an amino acid, or chelated, this makes the mineral and Organic Mineral i.e. it’s the same form found in food, and so your body recognises the magnesium as food, and absorbs it a lot better.Magnesium Glycinate then, the type sold by Feel Younger, is considered the best form of magnesium because it’s bonded to Glycine, an abundant amino acid in the body which has a whole host of it’s own benefits[20], including:
Glycine is one of the building blocks of the body’s most powerful natural antioxidant, glutathione
Necessary to make collagen, for healthy skin
Can improve sleep quality
Can help keep blood sugar balanced
May protect the liver and the heart
Can protect against muscle loss.
Although Glycine is not considered as an essential amino acid, because the body is capable of making its own, if necessary, many healthcare professionals consider it a good idea to increase glycine intake, either through natural foods like bone broth, or via supplementation.Feel Younger is proud to present our Magnesium Glycinate, containing 425mg of Elemental Magnesium per serving, which is close to the recommended daily amount for most people, enough to make up for the shortfall in almost any diet.How do you take Feel Younger ® Magnesium Glycinate?Ideally take with water directly before eating a meal, for maximum absorption, but can be taken any time, or as directed by a healthcare professional.Are there any cautions?Though magnesium supplements are generally considered safe, you should check with a healthcare professional before taking them, especially if you have a medical condition.The mineral supplement may be unsafe for people who take certain diuretics, heart medications, or antibiotics[21].Most people who take magnesium supplements don’t experience side effects, but magnesium can cause gut-related issues such as diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting, especially when used in large doses[22].It’s important to note that people with kidney issues are at a higher risk of experiencing adverse effects related to magnesium supplements[23].Always consult a qualified healthcare professional before making any changes to your diet or lifestyle.

You can probably see why Ashwagandha is one of the most popular herbs in the world and has been so for over 1000 years!What is Ashwagandha and where does it come from?Native to Southeast Asia & India, the ashwagandha plant is a relatively small bush with yellow flowers.Scientifically known as Withania Somnifera, powders and extracts are created from the plant’s leaves and roots.Ashwagandha is classed as an adaptogen, which are substances used in herbal medicine that are considered to help the body deal with stress by mediating the stress response.Ashwagandha’s Traditional Use & HistoryRecords show that the Ayurvedic medicinal system highly regarded ashwagandha [1] as far as 6000 BC, and it is believed to play an integral role in naturally treating stress [2] and anxiety and improving cognitive function.Throughout time, ashwagandha has been mentioned in many mythologies and stories which describe its incredible properties.Indian kings used to regard ashwagandha as one of the reasons they were able to better rule the kingdom.In ancient Greek legends, Apollo gave the withania somnifera plant to the healer Aescalupius.How does Ashwagandha work?Ashwagandha features a wide range of active components, which include withanolides, saponins, terpenoids, flavonoids, phenols, resins and alkaloids.The most biologically active of these are withanolides (which are unique to ashwagandha and are steroid lactones). The most studied variation isWithaferin A.Withaferin A is an effective and powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant withanolide [3].Ashwagandha also contains sitoindosides, a group of antioxidant saponins which researchers believe may prevent cognitive defects and ease psychological stress [4].Ashwagandha has been shown to have many benefits, some of which include:
Reducing stress & anxiety by helping to control mediators of stress while reducing the activityof the HPA (hypothalamic pituitary adrenal) axis [5]
Improving brain function & memory [6]
Improving athletic performance by potentially enhancing oxygen and strength use whileexercising [7]
Improving heart health by reducing blood pressure and cholesterol [8]
Improving sleep due to the triethylene glycol that can be found in its leaves [9]
People mainly use Ashwagandha to: Reduce Stress & AnxietyAshwagandha’s ability to potentially help reduce stress and anxiety is probably the most common and well known use, which led to its classification as an adaptogen.A double-blind, randomized and placebo-controlled study on healthy adults appeared to show that ashwagandha helped control mediators of stress, such as cortisol, the stress activated JNK-1 protein (c-Jun N-terminal protein kinase) and Hsp70 (heart shock proteins) [10].It also appeared to reduce activity of the HPA axis (a system that regulates stress response) [11].A different study on 60 people showed that taking 240 mg doses of ashwagandha extract daily for 60 days significantly reduced their anxieties (against those who took placebos) [12].Increase Athletic Performance & EnduranceVarious studies have shown that ashwagandha can have positive impacts on athletic performance.Analysis of 12 studies on men and women who took daily ashwagandha doses suggested that physical performance was enhanced, which included increased strength and oxygen use during exercise [13].A 12 week trial on 49 athletic and healthy adults showed an improvement in endurance and self reported physical health [14].Another study conducted 8 weeks of supplementation of ashwagandha and measured the cardiorespiratory endurance in elite indian cyclists [15]. The same improvements were reported.The Addition of Black Pepper to Feel Younger® Organic Ashwagandha 1300mgThere are many reasons why taking ashwagandha with black pepper is beneficial, the main advantage being that taking black pepper makes Ashwagandha more bioavailable, meaning the Ashwagandha you take is better absorbed into your body’s cells, where it’s needed [16].Black pepper contains piperine, which has many benefits, such as:
It can help to decrease inflammation by reducing cytokine levels that promote inflammation, while increasing cytokine levels thatreduce inflammation [17]
It is a powerful antioxidant and acts directly as superoxide and hydroxyl which savage free radicals [18]
Piperine can help to inhibit hormone-like fats (prostaglandins), which could help with diarrhoea [19]
It can increase serotonin and dopamine (in the brain) which could improve cognitive function and mood [20]
Black pepper can also increase muscle metabolism through increased ATPase activity. This may increase muscle energy use and aid weight loss [21]

Eleuthero root, also known as Siberian Ginseng, is a supreme adaptogenic herb that also enhances physical and mental endurance. It nourishes the Kidneys and is beneficial for anyone experiencing general weakness or lack of vitality. It is a favorite herb of athletes as it enhances oxygenation metabolism and circulation of blood.
Eleutherococcus senticosus has a positive effect on the metabolic state through maintenance of normal glucocorticoid activity of the adrenal glands and increased brain catecholamine neurotransmitter formation, both important for energy production and motivation of physical activity. This herb is well known as an adaptogen to help with better withstanding stress during adverse conditions. The adrenal gland becomes exhausted during periods of chronic stress leading to reduced output of hormones. Siberian Ginseng reduces the adverse effects of chronic stress on the adrenal glands helping to preserve its healthy function.

Dr. Wong's Newly Formulated Magnesium Product is Now In-Stock and Available for Immediate Shipping!
Magnesium is an essential mineral nutrient for life. It is present in every cell type in every organism and is vital to the well being of all organisms.* Adult human bodies contain about 24 grams of magnesium, with 60% in the skeleton, 39% intracellular (20% in skeletal muscle), and 1% extracellular.
ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the main source of energy in cells, must be bound to a magnesium ion in order to be biologically active.* Over 300 enzymes require magnesium ions in order to function*. Magnesium in one of its various forms (ie: gluconate, malate, orotate, magnesia, citrate etc) can be found in common laxatives, antacids (i.e., milk of magnesia), and can be used in a number of situations where stabilization of abnormal nerve excitation and blood vessel spasm is required.*
The average adult human daily nutritional requirement is set to 300-400 mg per day of elemental magnesium. Inadequate magnesium intake frequently causes muscle spasms, and has been associated with cardiovascular disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, anxiety disorders, migraines, osteoporosis and cerebral infarction[1]*. Human magnesium deficiency (including conditions which show few overt symptoms) is relatively common, with only 32% of the United States meeting the RDA-DRI,[2] and has been implicated in the development of a number of human illnesses such as asthma, osteoporosis, and ADHD.[3]*
Due to its basic struction/function, magnesium may effect muscle relaxation through direct action on the cell membrane.* With the addition of magnesium, more channels may be blocked and the nerve may have less activity which could help support the body in reducing the itching/crawling sensations commonly noticed during periods of rest or sleep.*
According to a randomised, double-blind study, done in 2003, scientists found Magnesium citrate to be more bioavailable than oxide or amino-acid chelate (glycinate) forms[4].*
We have blended our own “chelated” magnesium using just enough Vit. C (345 mg) to assure good absorption of the mineral, while providing the full load of elemental mineral stated on the label: 510 mg of magnesium. We chose to use the more expensive Vit. C instead of the cheaper citric acid as the chelating agent because Vit. C has health benefits to your body that citric acid does not have. Now to answer the question: Why did we use Magnesium Oxide in our product? What folks don't understand that Dr. Wong has taught in his shows is that the elemental magnesium in all chelated mag products is magnesium oxide! All chelated minerals are a blend of the mineral source and the chelating agent. The chelating agent is always cheaper than the mineral source so they put in a lot of that and little mineral. The industry standard would look like this: 85% citric acid and only 15% magnesium oxide (for magnesium citrate as an example) References:1. Larsson SC, Virtanen MJ, Mars M, et al (March 2008).

Neprinol AFD 300caps (Arthur Andrew Medical)
I had a large varicose vein on my leg that’s been causing me problems for years. I’d received a substantial quote to remove it using sclerotherapy. I’m 70. My daughter bought me these tablets for my general health. I take 3 in the morning and 3 at night. After about two weeks of taking these, my painful varicose vein disappeared. No need now for vein treatment. I feel great - I certainly do not feel 70! My daughter had bought these previously from another website but will now buy from longevity. Brilliant service and quick delivery.

Modifilan Brown Seaweed Extract, 90 Capsules, 500 mg
As well as removing metals from your body, these capsules are great for constipation, and continue to work long after the end of a bottle. And of course, completely natural.

Dragon Herbs Young Lungs 100 capsules 500mg
Take the mucus-melting, phlegm-expelling properties of Free The Lungs, combine with the cough-disappearing effect of Golden Air, add the ability to breathe deeper, and I still would not have encapsulated all the benefits that Young Lungs seems to provide. This formula has blown me away. For total respiratory health, this is THE product.

The Energy Blueprint - Energenesis 432.5g
I have adrenal insufficiency and another crash/hospital admission left my body very depleted. I've been taking an arsenal of supplements to support my cellular health and recovery but I have definitely felt a difference in energy levels since starting the energenesis - i could almost feel my cells tingling! The taste is very sweet and I find adding it to a smoothie makes it more palatable. It is on the pricey side but for me the science makes sense and it's a worthwhile investment in my health - thank you for bringing this product to my attention!

Surthrival Colostrum 180caps 500mg
Third bottle of this I’ve had, the best colostrum out there. It tastes so delicious out of the capsule, even one pill somehow manages to improve digestion, give my skin a bit of a glow and give me a mood boost! I don’t know what it’s doing to have that effect on my mood, lowering inflammation in the gut or immune enhancing I don’t know, but it’s also stimulating and hard to sleep for me if I take too much, so I have to go slow. Love it and wish I could take tons as it’s literally one of the most beneficial supplements I’ve ever taken.

Living Libations Green Papaya & Lime AHA mask
I have quite sensitive skin so wondered how my skin would react to this product. I applied a thin layer over my face and left for 15 minutes then lightly massaged and rinsed off with warm water. My skin felt soft and smooth after, and was not dried out. I'm looking to using it weekly/bi-weekly as part of my skincare routine.

Tried the small bottle first with good results for my divericularitis & chrohn’s

Zymessence 180 capsules, WAM Essentials (Dr Wong)
Highly recommend. Certainly notice once stop taking. For chronic symptoms 3 per day on an empty stomach seems to help although the label advises one capsule for maintenance.

Mr Oxygen's SUPER OxyFlush 120caps
Firstly, I have been a client of Longevity Essentials for the last two years. Wonderful family business. I found this company just by chance when I found the Aggressive Health Book written by the founder of this website/company – Mike Nash. Fab book that is the genesis of my health program. Mr Oxygen Super Oxyflush is heaven sent. I have been taking for nearly four weeks and what an improvement in my gastrointestinal system. If you have more than one of the following - digetive issues, constipation, bloating or gas, taken in the past antibiotics, strong craving for sweets, bread or alcoholic drinks, psoriasis or skin infections, have had parasites, dealing with fatigue, depression, poor memory or nervous tension, dry skin, rashes, nail infections. Circulatory problems – cold hands and feet. This product along with the following will help: I am currently taking it with the Mr Oxygen Oxyflush and the Immune Tree liquid Oxygen. It best to take them all on an empty stomach – first two capsules of Oxyflush, NEXT take the Oxysulfur with ascorbic acid, NEXT take the Immune Tree Liquid Oxygen. These three will diffidently clean and purify your digestive tract, every organ, blood vessel and cell in the entire body. It does this by liquefying the waste in the system and passing it out through the bowels and urinary tract. Mr Oxygen’s OxySulfur is absolutely the best on the market in my opinion. I have been taking MSM Sulphur for the last three years only noticing moderate results. However, after taking OxySulfur for just four weeks I noticed a vast difference. My hair is shiny and bouncer, my fingernails are strong and white, and my skin is smooth as satin and radiant. Just recently I purchased the last in stock, that is how good this product is.

Organixx – Magnesium 7 60caps
My second bottle. I am happy with it, and it makes a difference to the quality of my sleep. Thank you.
This stuff is changing my body faster than anything else. Fat is melting away yet since taking deer antler I've become ravenously hungry, needing to eat every 2-3 hours. I can tighten my trouser belt by another notch, all my clothes feel much looser on me, and my sciatica seems eased. This is an extremely potent supplement.
I will have to check again next month to make sure it is this medicine that helped me and shocked me. My TSH on October 16 was just over 100. On that day I started with 6 capsules a day, I got tested today, and my TSH is 12, that is a massive drop within 2 months. I took adrenal with this at 4 caps a day. I never noticed anything physically, like less brain fog, more energy....although my toilet is much better. I will report back in another 2 months, I should have normal TSh range. :) Along with taking this medicine, I have done Ujjai pranayam, a special way of breathing for 10 mins a day, and general exercise and I drank a teaspoon of coriander in warm water every other day.
