This product is intended for adults who choose to include traditional, animal-based whole foods as part of a varied and balanced diet. Why Choose Grass Fed Beef Adrenal Sourced from grass-fed, pasture-raised cattle in New Zealand & Australia Made from freeze-dried bovine adrenal glandular with liver Includes adrenal cortex and adrenal medulla Whole-food, non-defatted formulation No fillers, binders, lubricants, or flow agents Free from added hormones, pesticides, antibiotics, and GMOs Third-party tested for purity and quality Manufactured in the USA Ingredients (per capsule) Freeze-dried grass-fed bovine adrenal (with liver) – 500 mg• Grass-fed bovine adrenal (adrenal cortex & adrenal medulla) – 125 mg• Grass-fed bovine liver – 375 mg Capsule shell: Bovine gelatin Suggested Use (see product label) Adults: take 1 to 3 capsules daily, or as directed by a healthcare professional. Whole-Food Nutritional Context Bovine adrenal glandular and liver are naturally occurring animal tissues that contain proteins, peptides, enzymes, fats, and micronutrients as part of their whole-food matrix. These nutrients occur naturally in food and are not isolated, standardised, or chemically concentrated. Bovine liver naturally contains vitamin A (retinol), vitamin B12, folate, choline, iron, and other micronutrients commonly found in organ meats. Adrenal tissue contains proteins and peptides specific to that gland as part of its normal biological structure. The freeze-drying process preserves these components without the use of high heat or chemical solvents, maintaining their natural balance as found in food. Traditional Dietary Context Organ meats and glandular foods have historically been consumed in many traditional cultures as part of whole-animal, nose-to-tail diets. These dietary patterns focused on utilising all edible parts of the animal as sources of nourishment rather than isolating individual nutrients. Adrenal tissue and liver were traditionally consumed alongside other organs depending on availability, cultural practices, and seasonal access. Grass Fed Beef Adrenal brings together these traditionally consumed tissues into a convenient whole-food capsule. Sourcing and Quality Ingredients are sourced from grass-fed, pasture-raised cattle in New Zealand and Australia, selected for strict agricultural standards and animal husbandry practices. Each batch is third-party tested for quality and purity. The product is produced without artificial additives and uses a freeze-drying process designed to maintain the integrity of whole animal tissues.

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.*   Traditional Function: Tonifies Qi*   Specifications: 100 Capsules, 500 mg each   Ingredients: Eleuthero (Eleutherococcus senticosus) root (Siberian Ginseng).   Other Ingredients: Vegetarian capsules**, rice powder   Usage:  Take 3 capsules, 2 times per day or as directed by a healthcare professional.   Remember Ron Teeguarden’s “First Rule of Tonic Herbalism,” summed up in a single word – Compliance.

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.

As a necessary component of over 325 biochemical reactions, magnesium is one of the most important essential nutrients for maintaining optimal health and performance.  Magnesium plays a role in vital processes such as protein syntheses, cardiovascular health, immune function, and blood sugar management. Specific to the brain, magnesium promotes healthy neuronal activity for supporting recall, learning, decision making, and spatial recognition. It’s impossible to achieve optimal mental and physical performance without maintaining proper levels of magnesium. Unfortunately, magnesium is one of the most deficient minerals in the American diet. In fact, the percentage of the U.S. population deficient in magnesium could be as high as 80%.  Deficiency can lead to “brain fog” and disease. INTRODUCING MAGTECH™ - THE OPTIMAL MAGNESIUM COMPLEX MagTech™ is a premium blend of all three different types of magnesium known to have the highest absorption, Magtein Magnesium L-Threonate, Magnesium Taurate, and Magnesium Glycinate. Each compound is fully chelated for optimal absorption and effectiveness.  “Chelated” means that the magnesium is bonded to an amino acid.  Chelation is the body’s natural means to transport minerals across the intestinal wall as part of digestion, so chelated magnesium is far better absorbed than most supplements which are cheap magnesium salts. MagTech™ has 100% nutritional density, meaning that all components of the magnesium complex have true nutritional value. We carefully chose forms of magnesium that are chelated with nutritionally functional amino acids, each with a specific role to optimize mental and physical performance. Magtein™ Magnesium L-Threonate & Synapse Density The human brain has about 100,000,000,000 neurons that communicate with each other through synaptic connections. Each individual neuron is capable of having thousands of synapses, leading to trillions of synaptic connections in the brain. These connections create neural networks that form the foundation for higher cognitive functions like learning, memory, and emotional regulation. The more synaptic connections you have, the better your memory, the faster your brain processes information, and the better your attention and focus will be. A breakthrough discovery at MIT demonstrated the key role that magnesium plays in regulating synapse density. The team of scientists showed that increasing magnesium levels in the brain leads to a significant and lasting increase in the number of functional synapses. However, the scientists found that conventional magnesium supplements were very poorly absorbed and failed to elevate magnesium in the brain, so they developed Magtein™. Magtein™ is a proprietary magnesium compound specifically designed to increase brain magnesium levels.  It is a form of magnesium that is chelated to L-threonate (a metabolite of vitamin c) to act as a carrier to facilitate magnesium’s entry into the brain.    Magtein™ (magnesium l-threonate) has been shown to significantly increase the brain’s number of synaptic connections / synaptic density (see graph on the left), and enhance both short-term and long-term memory (see graph on the right). Magnesium Taurate & Neurotransmitter Balance Magnesium taurate delivers an important amino acid, taurine to the brain and body.  Magnesium and taurine have synergistic and potentiating roles. Magnesium and taurine work together to stabilize cell membranes throughout the central nervous system and maintain neurotransmitter balance. One of taurine’s main tasks is to facilitate the passage of sodium, potassium, and magnesium ions into and out of cells for optimal neuronal activity. Taurine has a role in vision, cardiac health, bile production, as well as muscle growth.  It also acts as an antioxidant, inhibiting LDL cholesterol oxidation. Magnesium Glycinate & Sleep Quality Magnesium glycinate is a highly bioavailable form of magnesium and a significant source of glycine, an amino acid that promotes deep sleep and the elimination of toxins from the body. Magnesium and glycine both have a calming effect on the brain, helping to reduce stress and increase sleep quality. Restful sleep is important for the restoration of energy stores in brain cells depleted during a full day of thinking.  And with it’s anti-inflammatory properties, glycine is beneficial to the entire recovery process. Glycine has been shown to improve memory retrieval and reduce fatigue in individuals with sleep-depriving conditions, including jet lag and overwork. As an essential component in the synthesis of creatine, glycine also helps preserve muscle mass and prevent liver damage.  It plays a key role in liver detoxification by increasing glutathione.

Magtein™ Magnesium L-Threonate Built on over a decade of research, scientists from MIT (including a Nobel Prize laureate) developed the revolutionary new compound Magtein™ (magnesium l-threonate) to increase the levels of magnesium in the brain for optimal mental function, memory, and sleep.    "Magtein™ is a trademark of Magceutics, Inc. and is distributed exclusively by AIDP, Inc. Magtein is covered by registered and pending U.S. Patents." Magnesium Taurate Magnesium Taurate is a synergistic combination of magnesium and taurate, a free-form amino acid.  It’s known to decrease anxiety, relieve muscle fatigue, and promote a stronger immune system. This form of magnesium supports maximum absorption in the cells and distribution throughout the body. Magnesium Glycinate Magnesium glycinate has a positive impact on attention, memory, and stress reduction. Utilizing the essential amino acid glycine, this form of magnesium has a calming effect on the brain and promotes deeper sleep. Magnesium L-Threonate: In a recent rodent study, top neuroscientists from universities in Beijing, Texas, and Toronto found that “elevation of brain magnesium, by a novel magnesium compound [magnesium-l-threonate (MgT)], enhances synaptic plasticity in the hippocampus and learning and memory” [1] Twelve scientists at MIT conducted a study on magnesium-L-threonate and concluded that “an increase in brain magnesium enhances both short-term synaptic facilitation and long-term potentiation and improves learning and memory functions.” [2] A study using magnesium-L-threonate to treat Alzheimer’s Disease discovered that “Elevation of Brain Magnesium Prevents and Reverses Cognitive Deficits and Synaptic Loss” [3] In early 2014, two human studies on magnesium-L-threonate will be released to the public. Taurine (found in Magnesium Taurate): Researchers at Tufts University found that "Taurine increased choice reaction time" and "Taurine reversed the effects of caffeine-withdrawal symptoms" [4] A recent study on taurine's neuroprotective properties concluded that taurine supplementation "significantly ameliorated the age-dependent decline in spatial memory acquisition and retention" and can "forestall the age-related decline in cognitive functions". [5] In Japan, a study of 25 male college students found that "taurine supplementation alleviates visual fatigue induced by visual display terminal (VDT) work" [6] Glycine (found in Magnesium Glycinate): A 2012 study on healthy male volunteers found that "glycine improves daytime sleepiness and fatigue induced by acute sleep restriction" [7] A study on individuals with continuous complaints about the quality of their sleep concluded that "glycine ingestion significantly improved the following elements: 'fatigue', 'liveliness and preppiness', and 'clear-headedness'." [8] When studying the effects of glycine ingestion before bedtime on volunteers who have been experiencing unsatisfactory sleep, scientists in Japan found that it "improved the volunteers' satisfaction with their sleep, the difficulty of sleep onset, and sleep efficiency" [9] Sources: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22016520 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20152124 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23658180 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22819803 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23963537 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/14752617 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22529837 http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1479-8425.2006.00193.x/abstract http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1479-8425.2007.00262.x/abstract
