Would you like… Better Bone Health Immune System Support Improved Mood Improved Heart Health Anti-Inflammatory Support Support Losing Weight If so, you may want to give our Vitamin D3 5000iu + Vitamin K2 1000iu MK-7 a try!Our Vitamin D3 with K2 can also potentially give you a whole host of additional benefits such as: Increase Muscle Strength & Repair Increased Longevity Improved Brain Function and Memory Improved Dental Health Brain Protection Promote Proper Blood Clotting UV Protection Reduced Chance of High Blood Sugar Levels What is Vitamin D3?Vitamin D is a fat soluble vitamin that our body requires in order to absorb calcium in the gut, as well as regulating calcium and phosphorus for bone mineralization [1].Vitamin D is also incredibly important in the regulation of mood, prevention of cardiovascular problems and improving heart health, lowering pro-inflammatory and increasing anti-inflammatory components of the immune system, supporting weight loss, supporting bone health and more.There are two main types of vitamin D - D2 and D3. D2 can be found naturally in some plants, whereas D3 is naturally formed in animals when their skin is exposed to sunlight. The difference being that D3 is roughly 87% more potent at increasing blood vitamin D levels and maintaining concentrations. D3 also provides 2-3 times more storage of vitamin D in the body’s cells than D2.For example, a study on older women found that a single dose of vitamin D3 was almost twice more effective than vitamin D2 at increasing calcifediol levels [2].Vitamin D3 is indeed synthesized in your skin too when directly exposed to the sun's UV rays [3], specifically the ultraviolet B rays that are responsible for sunburn. When the UVB rays interact with a protein in your skin called 7-DHC (7-Dehydrocholesterol), it is converted into the active form of vitamin D (D3) that is then absorbed into your body [4].While the sun is an extremely important source, most people do not get enough sun on their bare skin throughout the year, so you should also acquire vitamin D3 from foods, such as fatty fish (such as mackerel, sardines, salmon and tuna), cod liver oil, egg yolks, but this is also often difficult, which is why many people prefer to supplement Vitamin D3 [5].What causes Vitamin D deficiency?A variety of factors can lead to vitamin D deficiency - the main being simply not getting enough sunlight. Here are some of the reasons you may not be getting enough vitamin D: Not exposing enough of your body for long enough (15 minutes in the sun wearing nothing but underwear will provide enough vitamin D for the day) Sitting in the shade - it’s important to understand that your exposed skin needs to be in direct sunlight Using sunscreen which blocks the UVB rays needed to synthesize vitamin D Living in areas where the sun is blocked, like cities with tall buildings Living in countries where there isn’t much sun, or working night shifts so you don’t see much sun   Winter in most countries (when the sun isn’t as strong/doesn’t appear often) Having darker skin (the darker your skin, the less able you are to absorb vitamin D due to the higher melanin content) If you’re deficient in vitamin D, a variety of problems can occur such as: Rickets (children) or Osteomalacia (adults) - distortion and softening of the bones [6] Low mood [7] Increased risk of cardiovascular problems [8] Increase risk of bone fractures and breaks from falls [9] Tiredness, pains and aches Can you test your levels of Vitamin D?If you suspect you have low vitamin D levels, or simply want to find out what your levels are - your doctor can perform a simple blood test. You can also order this test for yourself privately in most locations, we recommend this as it’s very important to have the optimals levels of Vitamin D3, not too little, not too much.If you are found to be deficient, your doctor may also want to perform x-rays to check the strength of your bones.What is Vitamin K2?Vitamin K is another fat soluble vitamin that is essential for the metabolism of calcium, blood clotting, heart health, bone health and many other functions in our bodies [10].The two types of vitamin K are K1 and K2. K1 is a plant form and can be found in some green vegetables, whereas K2 can be found in fermented and animal foods. Vitamin K2’s long side chain allows it to remain in the blood and circulate for longer, making K2 the best form of vitamin K. Where K1 might stay in the blood for several hours, K2 can remain in circulation for days [11].It’s vital that you take vitamin K2 when taking larger doses of vitamin D, but more on this later.Why you should always take Vitamin K2 alongside D3…It’s absolutely essential to take vitamin K2 alongside vitamin D3 for a couple of reasons. The main reason is that it's much safer to take higher doses of D3 with K2, because too much D3 by itself will pull calcium out of your bones, leading to lower bone density. Excessive vitamin D3, without K2, may also lead to calcium being deposited in your arteries, causing hardening of the arteries (vascular calcification).Vitamin K2 works to put calcium back into your bones [12], as well as helping to keep your arteries clear. A balanced formula with both allows you to reap the anti-inflammatory, immune supporting and other benefits of vitamin D3, while minimizing bone calcium loss and the potential for cardiovascular problems.Why Try Feel Younger® Vitamin D3 5000iu + Vitamin K2 1000iu MK7?Our vitamin D3 5000iu + vitamin K2 1000iu MK7 capsules are antibiotic free, gluten free, sugar free, hormone free, lactose free and contain no nasty binders.We use a type of K2 called MK-7 which is a step up from the normal K2 you’ll find in many other K2 supplements. MK-7 has higher efficacy due to its higher bioavailability and longer half-life than other versions of vitamin K2 [13].We’ve also included Bioperine (a patented black pepper extract) in our vitamin D3 with K2 formula because of its ability to increase nutrient absorption [14].Bioperine in itself also possess potential health benefits, such as boosting brain function by decreasing inflammation [15], improving memory and protecting the myelin sheath [16], anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects on UV (ultraviolet) induced skin damage [17] and preventing high blood sugar levels [18].This means when you take our vitamin D3 with K2 capsules, you know that you’re getting the highest quality, best forms of vitamin D and vitamin K that are the most bioavailable (available for your body to use) and last the longest in your body (longer half-life) and are going to be absorbed exponentially better than other D3 with K2 products due to our Bioperine content.How do you take it?Take one capsule a day, preferably with some kind of dietary fat to help better absorb the vitamins.Any cautions?Although vitamin D is tolerable in high doses, (10,000 iu & upwards) it’s important to bear your sun time in mind.If you’ve spent hours in strong sunshine, supplementation may not be beneficial (in rare cases, excessive vitamin D can cause nausea, vomiting, dehydration, confusion and abdominal pain).Vitamin K is generally considered to be well tolerated and safe but in rare cases, people may experience minor digestive effects.

Feel Younger Feel Younger - Berberine Blood Sugar and Weight Loss Support 1200mg 60 caps
£29.00
Would you be interested in getting support with…[1] Blood Sugar Balance Maintaining Optimal Weight Optimal Cholesterol and a Healthy Cardiovascular System Reduced Infections Improved Mood A Healthy Liver Optimal Metabolism If so, you may want to try Berberine.Berberine is so powerful and effective that some authorities have described it as being ‘as effective as a pharmaceutical’ [1]... although it’s a lot safer than many of those!What is Berberine? Where does it come from?Berberine is a compound found in several different plants, including Barberry (Berberis vulgaris), Oregon Grape (Mahonia aquifolium), Goldenseal (Hydrastis canadensis), and Chinese goldthread (Coptis chinensis).Technically, it belongs to a class of compounds called alkaloids. It has a yellow color, and has often been traditionally used as a dye. Berberine (C20H18NO4) is an isoquinoline alkaloid belonging to the protoberberine alkaloids. It was first discovered by Buchner and Herberger in 1830 [2]It has been used as traditional folk medicines in China, India, Iran and other countries [3]. And it has a 3000-year history of use in Traditional Chinese and Ayurvedic Medicine [4]. In the early 1960s, Indian researchers demonstrated that berberine and its salts, such as berberine sulfate, are valuable for the treatment of cholera, severe diarrhea and amoebiasis [5].Because of its effectiveness, especially in the treatment of diarrhea, berberine has become an essential medicine for every family in China.Berberine has now been tested in hundreds of different studies.How Does it work?After you ingest berberine, it gets taken in by the body and transported into the bloodstream. Then it travels into the body’s cells. Inside the cells, it binds to several different “molecular targets” and changes their function [6].Berberine also affects various other molecules inside cells, and may even affect which genes are turned on or off.Scientists have researched many different theories about how berberine may help support blood sugar health on a cellular level, including all of the following: Directly increasing AMPK, which stimulates glucose uptake in muscle cells and helps balance high blood sugar in rat and cell studies [7] Delay the breakdown of carbohydrates into simple sugars (rat study) [8] Enhancing glucagon secretion (rat study) [9] Mimics insulin action by increasing the ability of the body to take up glucose (cell study) [10] Decreasing glucose transport through the intestinal lining (cell study) [11] Increasing adiponectin, a protein which helps regulate blood sugar levels (through AMPK) (cell study) [12] Activating the blood sugar transport activity of glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1) (cell study) [13] Activating the fatty acid receptor GPR40 (cell study) [14] Protecting the beta-cells of the pancreas against cell death (cell study) [15] Inhibiting production of glucose in the liver (rat study) [16] Improving the gut microbiota (rat study) [17] Inhibiting NF-kappaB (NF-kB) (cell study) [18] Increasing insulin receptor expression (cell study) [19] People mainly use Berberine for: Balanced Blood Sugar LevelsOver time, high blood sugar levels can damage the body’s tissues and organs, leading to various health problems and a shortened lifespan.Many studies show that berberine can significantly reduce blood sugar levels to optimal levels [20].In fact, its effectiveness has been compared to the popular diabetes drug metformin (Glucophage) [21].It seems to work via multiple different mechanisms [22]. Decreases insulin resistance, making the blood sugar lowering hormone insulin more effective. Increases glycolysis, helping the body break down sugars inside cells. Decrease sugar production in the liver. Slows the breakdown of carbohydrates in the gut. Increases the number of beneficial bacteria in the gut.   In one study of 116 diabetic patients, 1000 mg of berberine per day lowered fasting blood sugar by 20%, from 7.0 to 5.6 mmol/L (126 to 101 mg/dL) [23].It also lowered hemoglobin A1c by 12% (a marker for long-term blood sugar levels), and also improved blood lipids like cholesterol and triglycerides [24].According to a big review of 14 studies, berberine may be as effective as oral blood sugar drugs, including metformin, glipizide and rosiglitazone [25].Berberine May Help You Lose WeightSo far, two studies have examined Berberine’s effects on body weight.In a 12-week study in obese individuals, 500 mg taken three times per day caused about 5 pounds of weight loss, on average. The participants also lost an average of 3.6% of their body fat [26].Another more impressive study was conducted in 37 men and women with metabolic syndrome. This study went on for 3 months, and the participants took 300 mg, 3 times per day.The participants dropped their body mass index (BMI) levels from 31.5 to 27.4, or from obese to overweight in only 3 months. They also lost belly fat and improved many health markers [27].The researchers believe that the weight loss is caused by improved function of fat-regulating hormones, such as insulin, adiponectin and leptin.Berberine also appears to inhibit the growth of fat cells at the molecular level [28].More research is needed on the weight loss effects of berberine.It Lowers Cholesterol and May Reduce Your Risk of Heart DiseaseAccording to a review of 11 studies, it can: [29] Lower total cholesterol by 0.61 mmol/L (24 mg/dL). Lower LDL cholesterol by 0.65 mmol/L (25 mg/dL). Lower blood triglycerides by 0.50 mmol/L (44 mg/dL). Raise HDL cholesterol by 0.05 mmol/L (2 mg/dL). It has also been shown to lower apolipoprotein B by 13-15%, which is a very important risk factor [30].According to some studies, berberine works by inhibiting an enzyme called PCSK9. This leads to more LDL being removed from the bloodstream [31].Keep in mind that high blood sugar levels and obesity are also major risk factors for heart disease, all of which seem to be improved with this supplement.How do you take Feel Younger® Berberine?Many of the studies cited on this page used dosages in the range of 900 to 1500 mg per day.It is common to take Berberine multiple times per day, before meals, to optimize absorptionFeel Younger Berberine comes in two high dose capsules of 600mg each.So, an optimal serving would be to take one capsule before each main meal, 2 times a day, e.g. breakfast and dinner. Take with water or any other liquid.Why Use Feel Younger® Berberine?Our Berberine comes from Berberis Aristata, a premium and highly concentrated source of Berberine.As well as containing a very impressive maximum dose of Berberine at a very reasonable price, Feel Younger ® Berberine also has a very moderate amount of extra ingredients compared to other brands. We have no fillers, and just a small amount of an excipient necessary to make the Berberine, which otherwise would have a sticky consistency, into a powder, so it can be available to you in a convenient capsule.We also use a vegetable capsule shell so our product is 100% vegan and vegetarian.Any cautions?Overall, Berberine has an outstanding safety profile.Always check with your healthcare practitioner before making health or lifestyle changes, especially if on any medications. [32].This is especially important if you are currently taking blood sugar lowering medications, as Berberine may also have this effect.Mild adverse digestive effects were observed among a few subjects in studies, such as abdominal discomfort, due to its antimicrobial action (nausea, distension, diarrhea) [33].

Feel Younger Feel Younger - All in One Multivitamin + Mineral Formula 60caps
£29.00
In the article ‘Do we need supplements’ we go into great detail about why we may or may not need supplements, based on many factors including our diet, lifestyle, goals and expectations i.e. are we happy to just get by, or are we trying to optimise.However, there is at least one exception to this nuance, one supplement that we would contend is beneficial is most cases, and that is a Multivitamin and Mineral Supplement, like Feel Younger’s All in One Multivitamin + Mineral Formula with Antioxidant + Immune Support.Why is it such a good idea for most people to take a formula like this?Firstly, while a deficiency of any one essential nutrient is quite rare, by a medical standard, having a deficiency of at least one of the many necessary vitamins and minerals is not uncommon.Why? There are many reasons why you may have a deficiency in a nutrient, and this is covered in detail in the ‘Do we need supplements’ article, but the most common reasons may be:1. Because you do not eat a varied, balanced diet. This could be for many reasons: you’re too busy, you find it too expensive or time consuming to prepare, you don’t enjoy healthy foods, or you enjoy unhealthy foods too much, and lastly, you may intentionally be on a restrictive diet, either because many foods disagree with you (e.g. food intolerances) or because you restrict certain food for ethical or religious reasons e.g. a vegetarian or vegan diet is more likely to lead to deficiencies including Vitamin B12, Zinc, Iron and Vitamin K2.2. If you have digestive issues that affect your ability to absorb nutrients. A lack of stomach acid may lead to problems absorbing proteins, whereas a lack of bile flow may lead to issues absorbing enough of the fat soluble vitamins. Diarrhea can deplete important minerals, while gut inflammation can reduce absorption of many kinds of important nutrients.3. Even if you eat a healthy diet, the foods you eat are grown in nutrient depleted soil, or from animals that eat crops from nutrient depleted soil.Estimates are that soil is 75-90% depleted of nutrients in the last 100 years. How this impacts nutrient content of foods is still an issue of contention and requires more research, but it’s reasonable to assume that if soil is so depleted of nutrients, that this will impact the nutrient content of foods that grow in it to some degree.4. You have a greater need for nutrients, due to genetic or lifestyle reasons.For instance, Elwin, the founder of Feel Younger ®, has genetic polymorphisms which cause him to need to consume double the usual recommended amount of the crucial nutrients Biotin, Choline, EPA and DHA.Lifestyle factors like high chronic stress, or excessive alcohol or stimulant use, for instance, can cause the rapid depletion of nutrients like Thiamine (Vitamin B1) and Magnesium, causing needs to be significantly elevated.5. Already Deficient?If you are already deficient in a nutrient, like vitamin B12, it’s common for medical professionals to recommend you take 100 times or even 1000 times the usual recommended amount, to try and replenish your levels, which is an amount you could never get without supplementation.Even if none of these apply to you, you may still want to consider taking a Multivitamin, like Feel Younger’s All in One Multivitamin + Mineral Formula with Antioxidant + Immune Support.Why? Because even if you’re not deficient in any of the nutrients contained within, you may still benefit from Optimizing your level of these nutrients.Remember, Recommended amounts are what was discovered clinically to prevent or reverse disease. While the are of what is optimal is less researched and more subjective (optimal is harder to define than disease), anecdotally, many people have reported feeling better when consuming levels of nutrients that are sometimes conceived as optimal, rather than essential. A common example is again, Vitamin B12, which many people feel better on with doses 100+ times the Recommended Daily Amount, even if they are not diagnosed as clinically deficient.What does a good Multivitamin and Mineral supplement contain?A good Multivitamin will contain all the essential Vitamins: A, B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B7, B9 and B12, C, D and EIt will also contain the essential minerals Magnesium and Calcium (in an optimal 1:1 ratio), Zinc and Copper (in an optimal 7:1 ratio), Selenium and Manganese (as Amino Acid Chelates) and Chromium and Molybdenum.Our formula does not contain iron as this is an essential nutrient that it’s easy to consume too much of for some people, so we encourage everyone to test to see if they need it and if so, take it separatelyWhat makes a Great Multivitamin and Mineral Supplement?As well as containing the essential Vitamins and Minerals listed above, a really great Multivitamin will also: 1. Not require you to take lots of pills. If you are already deficient in a nutrient, like vitamin B12, it’s common for medical professionals to recommend you take 100 times or even 1000 times the usual recommended amount, to try and replenish your levels, which is an amount you could never get without supplementation.2. Be free of fillers, additives, sweeteners and flavorings.Feel Younger’s All in One Multivitamin + Mineral Formula contains none of these, and only contains the smallest amount possible of 3 very common excipients, which are used to turn some of the ingredients, which would otherwise be oils or gels, into powder, so they can all go into one capsule.3. Contain Powerful, thoroughly researched, Natural Plant Based AntioxidantsIn addition to giving you every vitamin and mineral you need, Feel Younger’s All in One Multivitamin + Mineral Formula also gives you a powerful dose of 7 of the most powerful plant based antioxidants known to man, each of which has been thoroughly proven to have numerous health benefits [1]. We won’t list them all here as it would take up too much space, but encourage you to do your own research on: Green Tea Extract [2], Hawthorne Berries [3], Cinnamon Bark Extract [4], Bilberry Extract [5], Grape Seed Extract [6], Blackcurrant Extract [7] and Pomegranate Extract [8].4. Contain Powerful, thoroughly researched, Natural Plant Based AntioxidantsIn this day and age, all of our immune systems could do with some support. The herb Echinacea [9], Beta Glucan [10], Garlic [11] and Spirulina [12] are all powerful and have many research studies supporting their effectiveness. Again, we encourage you to do your own research.In addition to all this, Feel Younger’s All in One Multivitamin + Mineral Formula also contains Lutein [13], a vision support nutrient, Lycopene [14], a powerful anti-inflammatory, and Stinging Nettle [15] and Saw Palmetto [16], powerful anti-inflammatory and hormone supporting herbs.Is Feel Younger’s All in One Multivitamin + Mineral Formula with Antioxidant + Immune Support the absolute best way to meet your nutritional needs?Our answer may surprise you: NoBecause, the absolute best thing to do is:1. Seek out a nutritionist who understands everything we teach here at Feel Younger. This will usually cost several hundred dollars per consultation.2. Get, with their guidance, a test that shows your likely needs for all the important Vitamins and Minerals. These tests, like Genova Diagnostics Nutreval or Spectracell’s Micronutrient Test Panel, will cost around $500, and need to be repeated to get updated recommendations, at least every 6 months, preferably every 3-4 months. They also don’t include every nutrient e.g. neither include the mineral iron.3. You’ll likely end up with a program that includes substantial dietary changes, as well as many different bottles of supplements to get the exact right amount you need of many different nutrients, without taking anything you don’t need.The above is the best possible approach, as outlined by Feel Younger’s founder, Elwin Robinson.However, we are aware that this approach is:1. Very expensive to most people2. Quite time consuming3. Most people find dietary changes very difficult4. Very complicated to most people5. Most people don’t like taking many different supplements several times a day.So, while the above is the best possible approach, we realise it’s not realistic for many people.Most people would like to meet their nutritional needs with little effort, low cost and without making significant dietary changes.If that’s you, we Feel Younger’s All in One Multivitamin + Mineral Formula with Antioxidant + Immune Support…and it’s exactly what most of the Feel Younger team use themselves, for this reason!How do you take Feel Younger’s All in One Multivitamin + Mineral Formula with Antioxidant + Immune Support?2 capsules a day, with a meal, with water. Can be spread out over 2 meals, 1 capsule with each meal.Any cautions? Feel Younger’s All in One Multivitamin + Mineral Formula with Antioxidant + Immune Support has been specifically formulated, unlike many other common brands, to give a decent amount of the essential nutrients, but NOT an excessive amount of any nutrient, which makes accidentally taking too much of any nutrient much less likely with our Multivitamin than most others, so long as you don’t exceed the recommended serving size, but still…Always speak to a healthcare professional before making any changes to diet or lifestyle Scientific References https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2835915/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2855614/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3249900/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4466762/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK92770/ https://www.nccih.nih.gov/health/grape-seed-extract https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22673662/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4007340/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26009695/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3236515/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7402177/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3136577/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6164534/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5376536/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3529973/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25683150/
Feel Younger Feel Younger - Moringa 800mg 60caps

Would you like: A Good Night’s Sleep Elevated Mood Reduced Inflammation Help with Weight Management Healthy Blood Pressure Levels Balanced Blood Sugar Levels Revitalized Skin and Hair Antioxidant Support If so, you may love Moringa.Moringa has also been shown to help support: Reduced IBS symptoms Possibly fighting against some infections due to its antibacterial, antifungal, and antimicrobial properties Improved Wound Healing Improved Eye Health Moringa has medicinal properties and contains many healthy compounds including polyphenol and flavonoid antioxidants, such as quercetin and blood-pressure-lowering chlorogenic acid [1].What is Moringa and where does it come from?Moringa (Moringa oleifera) is a tropical tree native to the Himalayan mountains and India. It’s known by various names around the world, such as, Drumstick tree, Horseradish tree, Munga or Malunggay [2].Moringa leaf powder has become increasingly popular since it gained the status of a superfood.Moringa contains isothiocyanates, molecules similar to the very healthy sulforaphane found in cruciferous vegetables [3].Traditional UseMoringa plays an important part in Ayurvedic traditional medicine. According to Ayurvedic tradition, moringa can be used to prevent 300 diseases. In Ancient Egypt, it was used as a cosmetic product to nourish the skin [4].Almost all parts of the plant such as the bark, leaves, seeds, flowers, roots, and immature pods, can be consumed in one form or another.Most commonly it is the leaves that are consumed and used in traditional medicine because they are rich in antioxidants, amino acids, vitamins, and minerals, and carry many nutritional and health benefits. They are traditionally used to boost nutrition and prevent nutrient deficiencies, for malaria, typhoid fever, high blood pressure, and diabetes [5].The seeds and roots of moringa are also believed to help fight bacteria and fungi, and they can also aid in the purification process of water [6].Nutritious oil (“ben oil”) can also be made from the seeds, which is rich in oleic acid similar to olive oil but it is stable at higher temperatures [7].Now hailed as the “miracle tree” [8], it wasn’t until recently that its use started to spread outside of Asia and scientists began to get curious about the various benefits that Moringa possesses.Story of DiscoveryMoringa was first discovered in northern India, around 2000 BC. Traditional doctors quickly discovered its medicinal qualities.Aristocracy and members of royal families took Moringa for its beneficial effects on mental alertness and healthy skin and it became an essential part of traditional Ayurvedic medicine.In ancient India Moringa extract was given to Mauryan fighters on war fronts. They believed it would give them the necessary strength and energy during fights, while also helping with the stress of battle and pain from injuries.The ancient Egyptians highly valued Moringa oil, which was used instead of sunscreen.In Europe, it was the ancient Greeks who discovered various other valuable effects Moringa had on human health. In the later period they introduced Moringa to the Romans, who dispersed the knowledge throughout their empire.In 1817, the Jamaican chamber (at that time still a British colony) discussed Moringa. At the hearing they introduced Moringa oil as a healthy ingredient for salads and other culinary purposes. Within the British Empire Moringa expanded into many other countries around the world.How does it work?Moringa has many benefits, depending on what part of the plant is consumed - it has many active components, the mechanisms of which have been investigated largely in cell and animal studies [9]: Moringa contains tryptophan, which is known to relax the body and help it create serotonin, which is a precursor to melatonin - the main hormone involved in sleep Moringa is very nutritionally dense, so consuming it regularly potentially prevents vitamin, mineral, and nutrient deficiencies [10]. Potentially increases milk production by increasing prolactin levels in the blood [11]. Reduces markers of inflammation such as TNF-alpha, IL-6 and IL-8 [12]. Fights free radicals and increases antioxidants in cells [13]. Reduces blood sugar levels, cholesterol, and other fats in cells [14]. Increases fat break-down and prevents new fats from being made and stored (in cells) [15]. Prevented blood sugar dysregulation and weight gain even in rats fed a high-fat diet. It worked by reducing oxidative stress and inflammation [16]. People mainly use Moringa to:Boost NutritionMoringa has many nutritional benefits and is rich in vitamins and minerals that are essential for a healthy body.100 g of dry moringa leaves contain [17]: 9 x the Provitamin A (i.e. beta-carotene) found in carrots 15 x the Potassium found in bananas 17 x the Calcium of milk 12 x the Vitamin C of oranges, higher in fresh leaves (200 mg) and highest in freeze-dried leaves 25 x the Iron of spinach Vitamin E (about 100 mg) B vitamins: B1, B2, and B3 Essential amino acids and proteins Support Weight ManagementMoringa can help manage blood sugar levels and support weight management by reducing fat formation. It also promotes fat breakdown.In a study conducted on mice, those that were fed a very high fat diet and 5% moringa concentrate gained significantly less weight over the 3 month study, compared to the mice that were just fed the very high fat diet.Body composition at 4, 8 and 12 weeks showed lower fat accumulation and greater free fat (lean mass) as percentage of body weight in the 5% Moringa concentrate-fed mice compared to the very high fat diet-fed mice [18].Elevate MoodAs Moringa is high in Tryptophan, which is known to relax the body and help it create serotonin - it is thought to be helpful in treating depression, anxiety, and fatigue.A study conducted on Mice appeared to show promising potential on mood elevation [19].Ease Inflammation and IBSMoringa root, bark, leaf, and flower extracts are anti-inflammatory [20].Moringa may help reduce important inflammatory markers in immune cells, such as TNF-alpha, IL-6, and IL-8. It could also reduce the activity of genes that worsen the inflammatory reaction.In rats with gut inflammation, moringa seed extract reduced inflammation and swelling, ulcers, and overall gut damage.In cells, it could reduce the inflammation-worsening nitric oxide, and at the same time boost the anti-inflammatory IL-10 in immune cells.Sulforaphane-like compounds in moringa blocked the same pathways that painkillers target (COX-2) and reduced inflammation on a DNA-level (reducing MAPKs and NF-κB) [21] In rats, moringa seed extract rich in this compound reduced pain and inflammation similar to aspirin. This powerful compound had similar anti-inflammatory effects as curcumin in cells.How do you take it?Take 1-2 capsules a day, with water and preferably 20-30 minutes before a meal… however depending on what benefits you’d like to focus on when taking Moringa, it may be better to: Take Moringa in the morning to prime your body by giving it the foundation it needs to keep your energy levels high throughout the day. Take Moringa at night to help give your body the fuel and nutrients it needs to sleep well. Any cautions?Taking too much Moringa can impact your body’s ability to uptake certain nutrients and may lower blood pressure and heart rate too much in certain cases.ALWAYS consult a healthcare professional before taking any new supplements.

Feel Younger Feel Younger - Urinary Bladder Support Formula (1000mg D Mannose + Cranberry) 60caps
£33.00
Would you like to… Improve the Health of Your Urinary Tract Combat UTI’s (Urinary Tract Infections) Support the Health of Your Bladder and Kidneys If so, you’ll want to give our Urinary Bladder Support Formula with 1000mg D Mannose + Cranberry a try.The ingredients in this formula can also potentially give you a whole range of other benefits, such as: Improved Heart Health Antioxidant Support Reduced Inflammation Improved Digestive Health Liver Protection Aiding Healthy Weight Loss Lower Blood Pressure Blood Sugar Regulation Lower Cholesterol Levels A Boosted Immune System Why is it Important to Support Your Urinary Tract and Bladder?The urinary tract is extremely important to the body and it’s primarily responsible for filtering out waste products and flushing them out of the body.Your kidneys start this process by filtering your blood to remove excess fluids, waste products and anything toxic your body wants to be rid of. The kidneys produce urine to flush these waste products out of the body.Urine then passes down a tube (ureters) from the kidneys to the bladder. Once your bladder gets full, your brain sends a signal to let you know that it’s time to pee.Although the process is unconscious up until this part, we can consciously control when to urinate or not. When we’re ready, we relax the sphincter at the top of the urethra (the tube that is connected to the bottom of the bladder) and the urine will start to flow out of our bodies.When your urinary tract becomes infected you may experience some of the symptoms and problems listed below: Pain or burning when urinating (dysuria) Frequent urge to urinate (can occur at night) Sudden urge to pee (more than usual) Cloudy dark or strong smelling urine Blood in your urine Lower stomach or back pain (under the ribs) Low temperature If the infection manages to reach the kidneys, the following symptoms may occur: Discomfort and pain in your sides, lower back and near/around genitals High temperature, chills or shivering Weakness or fatigue Loss of appetite Diarrhea Nausea or vomiting If you experience any of the symptoms listed above, it’s best to speak to your physician to determine the best cause of action. Our product should only be used in conjunction with medical treatment, or where a medical professional states they are unable to help, as is sometimes the case in cases of chronic cystitis.What causes UTIs to develop?Urinary tract infections most commonly occur when E. coli (bacteria found in the digestive tract) enter the urethra opening. The reason why women experience UTIs more commonly than men is because their urethra is shorter, and also closer to the anus where E. coli can be found.It’s especially important to treat UTIs quickly and effectively to stop bacteria ascending up your urinary tract. If the bacteria reaches your bladder, cystitis can occur (inflammation of the bladder).If the bacteria continues to ascend the urinary tract, it can reach the kidneys and cause further infection (pyelonephritis) which if left untreated, can cause long lasting damage to the kidneys and also carries a risk of contracting sepsis (blood poisoning) which can be fatal.Can you test for UTIs?If you think you have a UTI, it’s best to speak to your physician who can arrange for a urine test to be carried out.UTIs can be discovered by taking a urine test, where your urine sample will be analyzed under a microscope to check for signs of infection (white blood cells and bacteria).Blood tests can also be used, as well as a CT scan, ultrasound, cystography and other imaging tests to determine if there is any infection further up the urinary tract in the bladder or kidneys.The Top 10 Ways to support the health of your urinary tract:There are many lifestyle changes you can make to support the health of your urinary tract, including your bladder and kidneys to decrease the chances of developing an infection: Eat a nutrient dense, varied organic diet. While what you eat and drink aren’t necessarily considered to be risk factors [1] in the development of UTIs, certain foods, such as yogurt, contain healthy bacteria that help to prevent and fight infection.   Boost your immune system. A compromised immune system is associated with higher chances of contracting a UTI. There are many ways to boost your immune system such as the point above (good diet), regular exercise (150 mins a week at least), stopping smoking, maintaining a healthy weight, drinking alcohol in moderation, getting enough sleep and reducing stress.If sleep is something you struggle with, you can try supplementing with our Sleep Aid Ultra, 5 HTP or Saffron products.If stress is something you struggle with, there are many things you can do to help such as meditation and breathing exercises. You can also try supplementing with our Serenity Anti-Stress Support, 5 HTP, Saffron or Ashwagandha products. Don’t hold your pee! Holding urine in for too long can increase the chance of developing a UTI [2]. It can also overstretch the bladder muscles, causing them to slacken which can lead to inability to empty your bladder fully (urinary retention or incontinence). Clean your genitals before and after sex. Making sure you and your partner are clean before you go at it will lessen the chance of any unwanted bacteria entering your urethra. Maintaining good rectal hygiene (especially in women) may help lower the chance of developing a UTI.Using condoms will decrease this chance even further. Urinate immediately after sex, and drink plenty of water. Peeing straight after sex may help flush any unwanted bacteria out of the urinary tract.12-15 cups of water daily should ensure proper flow to help flush bacteria out of the urinary tract. Do Kegel exercises. Kegel exercises target the pelvic floor. They are particularly important to strengthen muscles around the bladder to keep any unwanted spills at bay.   The strengthening of these muscles can also help to avoid unwanted infections getting through to the bladder. Wipe front to back. Wiping from back to front will increase the chances of bacteria from your anus entering your urethra and causing a UTI. Stop using a diaphragm. Diaphragms can harbor bacteria such as E. coli, as well as promoting their growth [3]. This is especially worse for women who are already prone to UTIs. Consider changing to a different form of contraception.  Stop using scented soaps. Using scented soaps can irritate vaginal tissues and can alter the vaginal microbiome, making you more susceptible to UTIs. This also stands true for bubble baths, cleansing sprays and so forth. Support your urinary tract with vital minerals and nutrients to decrease the risk of developing UTIs, while supporting your bladder: D-mannose. A type of sugar that is found in fruits and vegetables such as oranges, broccoli, apples, green beans, peaches - D-mannose can help to treat and prevent UTIs by preventing infectious bacteria, such as E. coli, from being able to clasp onto cells and cause infection in the urinary tract.There have been many studies on the efficacy of D-mannose. One such study on women with active UTIs found that symptoms for most women improved [4].Another study saw the comparison of D-mannose and antibiotics in treating and preventing UTIs. It found that the mean recurrence time was 52.7 days with antibiotic treatments, compared to 200 days with oral D-mannose [5].Cranberry juice powder. Cranberries are a great source of D-mannose, and have been used for hundreds of years as an effective treatment for UTIs.Hibiscus flower extract. Scientifically known as hibiscus sabdariffa linn, or more commonly known as roselle - hibiscus flower has been used traditionally as an anti-inflammatory agent. Renal (of the kidneys) inflammation can be a key event in UTIs.A study on the effect of a roselle drink preventing UTIs and renal inflammation in long-term care facilities saw roselle drinks to be effective [6].Dandelion herb extract. Scientifically known as taraxacum officinale folium - Dandelion may have antimicrobial properties that can help your immune system fight off infection [7].It also has a diuretic (increased passing of urine) effect on the human body helping you to flush out unwanted bacteria [8].Introducing Feel Younger® Urinary Bladder Support Formula with 1000mg D Mannose + CranberryWe understand that it’s not always easy, nor practical to implement a variety of lifestyle changes - especially all at once. We’d advise that you make as many of the changes listed further up this page as possible, but to do so 1 or 2 at a time, make sure they stick and then move onto more.In the meantime, you can support your body with the essential nutrients and minerals it needs that can help support and prevent your urinary tract from infections.That’s why we’ve included the above ingredients in our Urinary Bladder Support Formula.By combining these ingredients into an easy to swallow capsule, we’ve taken the stress out of buying each of these ingredients separately, researching and experimenting how much of each you should take and then incorporating them into your diet/supplement regime.Here at Feel younger®, we believe in providing strong doses at reasonable prices.  Our Urinary Bladder Support Formula with 1000mg D Mannose + Cranberry capsules are antibiotic free, gluten free, vegan and vegetarian friendly, corn free, hormone free, lactose free and contain no nasty fillers or binders.How Do You Take Feel Younger® Urinary Bladder Support Formula with 1000mg D Mannose + Cranberry?Take two capsules once a day with a glass of water, preferably 20-30 minutes before a meal.Any Cautions?Although rare, some people may experience loose stools or diarrhea.Because of the lack of studies on hibiscus flower and pregnancy, pregnant or breastfeeding women should avoid this product.ALWAYS consult a healthcare professional before taking any new supplements, especially if you have high blood pressure or diabetes in this case (due to hibiscus content and dandelion).If you are taking antibiotics, anticoagulants, blood sugar drugs, any prescription medications or have diabetes, consult your physician before taking this product.

Feel Younger Feel Younger - Sublingual B Complex Vitamin B12 1200mcg 60ml
£24.00
Would you like… Improved Energy Levels Reduced Stress and Anxiety Reduced chance of Pernicious Anemia Improved Mood Improved Bone Health To Restore Normal Red Blood Cell & Hemoglobin Count If so, you may want to give our Sublingual B Complex, Vitamin B12 1200mcg Drops a try!This formula can potentially also give you a whole host of additional benefits, such as: Improved Cognition, Brain Function & Memory Migraine Prevention Better Joint Health Improved Skin & Nail Health Support Healthy Cholesterol Levels Reduced Blood Pressure Better Skin Health Better Eye Health Ease Morning Sickness & Nausea What is Vitamin B12 and where does it come from?Known as cobalamin [1] and sometimes referred to as a “painkiller vitamin”, vitamin B12 cannot be produced by our bodies, but is essential for a variety of functions and processes.Primarily stored in the liver [2], vitamin b12 can be sourced from animal foods such as poultry, meat, fish, dairy products and eggs, as well as being available in supplement forms.Cobalamin is best known for the role it plays in cardiovascular support, energy metabolism and red blood cell & DNA production [3].Discovered at Merck & Co (pharmaceutical company) by Karl Folkeres (director of Merck research) cobalamin was first isolated by Folkers and his team in 1945 when they were able to produce bright red, tiny crystals of the vitamin.Once isolated, they tested the crystals on an anemic (not enough red blood cells in the body) patient, who made a full recovery.Scientists later discovered that vitamin B12 was an important growth factor for animals, which led to vitamin rich diets in farming and an increase in livestock yields.In the 1950s some countries also used cobalamin as a “Painkiller Vitamin” [4].How does it work?There are many benefits to taking vitamin B12, such as: Preventing & helping with anemia. When you’re deficient in cobalamin your red blood cell count will be lower than normal (anemia) [5] because it’s needed in erythropoiesis (formation of red blood cells) [6]. Better bone health. B12 also plays a crucial part in DNA synthesis, providing strength and integrity to chromosomes. DNA is found in every cell in our bodies, including our bones [7]. Better energy levels. B vitamins play a crucial part in energy production in your body, and being deficient in B12 is likely to cause fatigue [8]. If you are deficient in B12, you’ll likely experience a surge of energy, taking you both to the days of your youth! Improved mood. A study showed that severe depression was twice as likely in those who were deficient in vitamin B12 [9]. Improved brain function & cognition. Brain atrophy is caused by a loss of neurons and can lead to memory loss or degenerative problems, such as Alzheimer's. Being deficient in cobalamin has been linked to this loss of neurons [10]. Reduced risk of macular degeneration & heart problems. The macula is a part of the eye that helps to process what you are looking at. When optimal (or adequate) levels of cobalamin are present in the body, it keeps homocysteine (an amino acid in your blood) levels in check.   High homocysteine levels have been linked to an increased risk of macular degeneration [11] with age, and also increased risk of heart problems [12].Vitamin B2Otherwise known as riboflavin, vitamin B2 can help to prevent migraines, bone loss and cataracts, while improving mood and helping to boost the immune system.First discovered in 1872 by Alexander Wynter Blyth (an English chemist) as a pigment in milk that was fluorescent [13], it wasn’t until the 1930’s that it was distinguished to be riboflavin.As with all vitamins, riboflavin cannot be made in the body, but can be found in foods like milk, yogurt, cheese, eggs, almonds, fortified cereals and spinach, as well as meats such as beef & pork organs, chicken and salmon.Studies have shown that an increased intake of riboflavin significantly decreases the risk of age related cataracts [14].Studies have also shown B2 to be effective in migraine prevention [15].Much like B12, even marginal deficiency in riboflavin has been linked with depression [16] and worse bone health [17]Vitamin B3Vitamin B3, or niacin, was first isolated in 1912 by Casimir Funk (Polish-American chemist) while he was actually trying to cure a disease caused by a deficiency of vitamin B1 (beriberi).Used in a variety of different processes throughout the body, niacin is essential for the heart, gut, brain, skin and much more.Niacin can help to improve cholesterol levels by increasing LDL (bad) cholesterol and decreasing HDL (bad cholesterol) [18].Vitamin B3 is extremely important for its role in obtaining energy from foods that you ingest [19].Vitamin B6First discovered in 1934, pyridoxine (vitamin B6) was first isolated in 1938 by Samuel Lepovsky at the University of California.Another B vitamin that plays crucial roles in many processes in the body - B6 can affect sleep, mood, mental health, inflammation, pain, digestion and more.Studies have shown that people with depression have low pyridoxine levels, and B6 can help to reduce anxiety for them [20].It can also help to increase melatonin (sleep hormone) secretion in the pineal gland, as shown in a study of 120 children [21].B6 is effective at significantly reducing symptoms of morning sickness [22].Vitamin B5Otherwise known as pantothenic acid - vitamin B5 was first discovered by Dr. R J Williams in 1933.Again, a B vitamin that is heavily involved in a variety of different bodily functions. From helping to convert food into energy, to being extremely important for the gastrointestinal, nervous and immune systems [23].A randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled study showed that vitamin B5 supplementation reduced acne after 12 weeks [24].What makes Feel Younger® Sublingual B Complex, Vitamin B12 1200mcg Drops different from other B Vitamin Products?As you can see, there are many benefits to taking the B vitamins we have listed above, and that’s why we decided to include them, along with a strong dose of B12 in our Sublingual B Complex B12 1200 mcg drops.But why use our Sublingual Vitamin B12 Formula with B Complex?Firstly, because our B Vitamin formula is sublingual (applied under the tongue), the nutrients that your body needs can enter your bloodstream directly, without having to go through your gastrointestinal tract. This means that the vitamins won’t be broken down by stomach acid, and they are released quickly into the body and you’ll feel the effects sooner, and with greater efficacy.Secondly, for this product we only use the best, most expensive, and most highly absorbed forms of B Vitamins, which are most easily assimilated by the body, but which unfortunately most supplement manufacturers don’t use, as they cost significantly more than the cheaper, less well absorbed versions.For instance, for Vitamin B12, we use Methylcobalamin, which is the most bioavailable form of cobalamin. It is also the natural form of B12, as opposed to cyanocobalamin, which is a synthetic form of B12 made in a lab and needs to be converted to methylcobalamin in the body - taking up valuable energy from other bodily processes.For Riboflavin, we use Riboflavin 5 Phosphate, which is a more bioavailable form of B2 - meaning it is more easily absorbed and available for your body to use, and therefore its effect is more powerful than taking standard riboflavin.Our Sublingual B Complex uses niacinamide, because this form of niacin is safer, as it doesn’t give you the ‘Flush’ that the other forms of Niacin do…which many people find unpleasant.Our B5 - D-calcium pantothenic acid is a more stable form of B5 which is easily broken down by the body into pantothenic acid.Thirdly, this formula is also antibiotic free, gluten free, sugar free, vegan and vegetarian friendly, corn free, hormone free, lactose free and contains no nasty binders.How Do You Take Feel Younger® Sublingual B Complex, Vitamin B12 1200mcg DropsShake well before using.Place 1 ml (full dropper) under your tongue and hold for 20 seconds before swallowing.Any Cautions?In very rare cases, people may experience headaches, nausea and vomiting, diarrhea, fatigue or weakness or a tingling sensation in the hands and feet.Not intended for use by people under the age of 18 years old.ALWAYS consult a healthcare professional before taking any new supplements.

Feel Younger Feel Younger - Nitric Oxide Circulation Support Formula 60caps
£27.00
If you’d like to… Reduce Your Blood Pressure Improve Heart Health Widen Your Blood Vessels & Increase Your Circulation Increase Blood Flow To Your Organs & Extremities Improve Your Cholesterol Levels Boost Brain Function Then you may want to give our Nitric Oxide Circulation Support Formula, NO Booster, a try!This supplement can potentially also give you a whole host of other benefits, such as: Improved Blood Sugar Regulation Better Skin Health Enhanced Athletic Performance & Weight Training Results Faster Wound Healing Better Immune Function Why would I want to boost Nitric Oxide, and why is it important to Support Your Circulation?Nitric oxide is a very important molecule that is made in your body. It is responsible for the promotion of proper blood flow around your body by widening (dilating) blood vessels.This dilation improves blood flow to the extremities which will boost brain function, increase exercise performance and lower blood pressure.Adequate circulation of blood to your organs and extremities is vital when it comes to health.Networks of capillaries, arteries and veins (also known as blood vessels) spread from the very tip of your head, all the way throughout your body down to the soles of your feet.It’s extremely important to have free flowing blood vessels to keep your blood pressure at normal rates, which puts less strain on the heart while it pumps blood around your body.Your blood carries oxygen, vital minerals and nutrients, hormones and white blood cells to body tissues. It then collects waste products and takes them to the kidneys and liver to be filtered and removed from the body. Blood is also essential for optimal body temperature regulation.If you have suboptimal circulation, your body is not going to be able to do any of these things efficiently.Poor circulation can lead to a variety of health problems, such as: Reduced oxygen flow to the brain which is detrimental to mental clarity and mood Reduced athletic performance, causing inefficient use of muscles Reduced flow of key nutrients and minerals to extremities, often leading to cold hands and feet. Slower immune response and wound healing, and higher risk of infection from wounds (because your blood carries white blood cells that are used for healing and to fight infections in your body) Over tiredness, lack of energy, unable to concentrate and fatigue Alopecia and/or loss of hair, as well as slower hair & nail growth For men, erectile dysfunction can occur Discolored skin Muscle stiffness, weakness, pain or numbness (especially in the legs) Poor circulation increases the risk of developing cardiovascular problems.What Leads to Poor Circulation?A variety of factors can lead to poor circulation: Poor diet Being overweight or obese Not exercising regularly Smoking High blood pressure Diabetes Stress Blood clots Anemia Varicose veins Atherosclerosis How Do You Test Your Circulation?A variety of symptoms can develop if your circulation is sub-optimal: Blue or pale skin Cold or numbness in the feet or hands Bulging veins or swelling Chest pain Weak or painful muscles Pins and needles If you experience any of these symptoms, consult your physician.Some tests that can be done to assess your circulation are: Ultrasound CT scan (computed tomography) ABI test (ankle-brachial index) and other blood pressure tests Stress test Various blood tests Angiography Blood sugar test to check for diabetes The Top 8 Ways to Improve Your CirculationHere’s the top 8 lifestyle changes you can make to improve your circulation: Eat an organic, nutrient dense diet. There is a direct link between poor nutrition and Cardiovascular problems [1]. Atherosclerosis is the thickening or hardening of the inside of arteries due to plaque buildup caused by poor diet. Maintain a healthy weight. Eating an organic, nutrient dense diet should help to normalize your weight over time. Being overweight increases blood pressure [2]. Too much pressure in your blood vessels can cause them to expand more than intended, destroying elasticity and effectively “slackening” your network of vessels.   Exercise regularly. Around 150 minutes a week is recommended, and there are a variety of health benefits from doing so. Being regularly active decreases atherosclerotic plaque formation and aortic valve calcification [3]. Regular exercise also keeps a healthy flow of blood to the brain [4]. Quit Smoking. Smoking cigarettes inhibits optimal blood flow to the brain, which can cause a variety of problems in the long term, such as increased risk of dementia [5]. Reduce your stress. Stress causes high blood pressure, amongst other problems… and as mentioned above, high blood pressure slackens blood vessels and causes inefficient circulation [6]. There are many ways to reduce your stress levels, such as meditation. You can also try supplementing with our Serenity Anti-Stress Support or 5 HTP products Reduce your blood pressure. As well as the above points, you can also reduce salt in your diet (sodium), limit alcohol consumption and improve the quality of your sleep. If sleep is something you struggle with, you can try supplementing with our Sleep Aid Ultra, 5 HTP or Saffron supplements. Keep your diabetes in check. Abnormal glucose levels in the blood can cause damage to the inner lining of your blood vessels, which will hinder blood flow [7]. Support your circulation with nutrients that can help to boost Nitric Oxide in your body to keep your blood vessels dilated and free flowing: Niacin. Also known as vitamin B3, niacin can help to reduce blood fat levels (cholesterol) [8] and reduce blood pressure by dilating (opening) the capillaries, increasing blood flow. [9].L-arginine. L-arginine is an amino acid that can increase vasodilation (because it is turned into nitric oxide, which widens blood vessels), thus lowering blood pressure and increasing blood flow to muscles [10].L-citrulline. Another amino acid that can help with blood vessel widening by boosting nitric oxide production. A study on elderley men showed that L-citrulline helped to increase femoral blood flow and vascular conductance when doing lower limb exercises [11].Introducing Feel Younger® Nitric Oxide Circulation Support Formula, NO BoosterWe understand that it’s not always easy, nor practical to implement a variety of lifestyle changes - especially all at once.We’d advise that you make as many of those changes as possible, but do so 1 or 2 at a time, make sure they stick and then move onto more.In the meantime, you can support your body with the essential nutrients and minerals it needs to help boost nitric oxide production in your body, to help widen your blood vessels and increase blood flow.That’s why we’ve included the above ingredients in our Nitric Oxide Circulation Support Formula, NO Booster supplement.By combining all of these ingredients together into an easy to swallow capsule, we’ve taken the stress out of buying each of these ingredients separately, researching and experimenting how much of each you should take and then incorporating them into your diet/supplement regime.How Do You Take Feel Younger® Nitric Oxide Circulation Support Formula, NO BoosterTake two capsules once a day.For the best results, take 20-30 minutes before a meal with a glass of water.Any Cautions?In very rare cases, people may experience diarrhea, nausea or a tingling sensation.

Would you like… Stronger, Healthier Joints Less Joint Pain Joints that Move Freer and Easier Reduced Joint Stiffness Increased Range of Movement If so, you might want to try our Joint Support Plus with 1500 mg Glucosamine supplement!The combination of ingredients in this product may also give you the following additional benefits: Reduced inflammation Antioxidant support Advanced wound healing Improved skin health Increased heart health Allergy symptom relief Why is it Important to Support Your Joints?Joints facilitate the movement of bones in your body. Without them, we’d be unable to move freely due to the excruciating pain of bone rubbing on bone.Inside a joint is a layer of protective cushioning (cartilage) that covers the ends of each bone, and synovial fluid - a thick liquid in the joint.The cartilage is lubricated by the synovial fluid to reduce friction, allowing the bones to glide over each other freely and without pain. Having healthy joints will allow you to partake in any movement as small as opening your hand, to walking, running, jumping and playing sports freely and easily, without pain.What Causes Joint Pain and Deterioration?Arthritis is a condition that causes inflammation and pain in a joint.There are many different types of arthritis, with the most common being osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.There are many factors that can cause your joints to deteriorate and for a type of arthritis to develop, such as: Age Gender Genetics Poor diet Previous injuries Obesity Poor posture Medical conditions, including underactive thyroid Lack of exercise or not warming up properly Stress Changes in the weather Can You Test For Joint Deterioration?Generally, you will have symptoms in your joints such as pain, tenderness, swelling, inflammation, restricted movement, warm red skin over the affected joint (or it feels extremely cold), weakness, and muscle wasting.If you experience any of these symptoms, scans such as X-rays and MRI scans, can be performed to help diagnose the problem.The Top 7 Ways to Support and Reduce Pain in Your Joints:While there are some things we cannot change, such as gender and genetics - here are the top 12 lifestyle changes you can make to help support your joint health: Eat a clean organic diet. Processed foods have been linked to increased inflammation [1]. Being overweight or obese puts more pressure on the joints, making them more susceptible to arthritis and injury [2]. Improve your posture [3] Exercise regularly, and always warm up - around 150 minutes a week is recommended [4]. Always wear underlayers to keep your joints warm, especially when it’s cold outside. Wear supportive clothing. If you’ve had a previous injury to a joint, such as a meniscus tear (knee cartilage) be sure to wear a knee support whenever you do strenuous exercise or prolonged periods of exercise [5]. Reduce your stress. The mind is powerful, and studies have shown the link between psychological pain and joint pain [6].There are many ways to lower your stress levels, such as meditation. You can also try supplementing with our Serenity Anti-Stress Support or 5 HTP products Arrange a thyroid test [7] Support your joints with essential nutrients and supportive plant compounds for optimal performance: Glucosamine Sulfate. Glucosamine naturally occurs in the body and works by building cartilage, ligaments and connective tissue ,as well as lubricating and strengthening joints for freer movement [8].As such, it’s an extremely popular supplement amongst athletes who are prone to joint injuries.A trial saw glucosamine improve acute knee injuries in 106 athletes after 4 weeks [9].Boswellia Extract. Also known as frankincense or olibanum, Boswellia extract comes from Boswellia trees and has been used in traditional eastern medicines for millenia to help treat rheumatoid arthritis and other inflammatory problems [10].A specific extract from boswellia trees called 5-loxin was used in two clinical trials on 135 osteoarthritis patients. It seemed to significantly improve joint function and pain [11].Chondroitin Sulfate. Another naturally occurring compound in the body that plays a crucial role in cartilage that cushions your joints (hyaline cartilage).Chondroitin sulfate can help to prevent the breakdown of cartilage in joints, while synthesizing various cartilage components [12].Turmeric. One of the bioactive ingredients in turmeric is circumin, which can potentially help to regenerate cartilage [13].A study conducted on 3 month supplementation of a circumin-phosphatidylcholine complex showed an increase in walking distance (by over 400%) and a 58% decrease in pain in osteoarthritis sufferers [14].Circumin is also capable of promoting anti-inflammatory activity [15].Quercetin. Quercetin is a pigment that is naturally found in a lot of fruits, vegetables and grains.It’s an extremely abundant antioxidant that plays a crucial role in combating free radical damage in your body. As such, it can help reduce inflammation.50 women with rheumatoid arthritis took part in an 8 week study of quercetin supplementation.They experienced reduced pain and stiffness in the morning, as well as reduced pain after an activity. Markers (such as TNFa) of inflammation were also reduced when compared to those who took the placebo [16].Methionine. Found in a lot of proteins in the body, methionine is an essential amino acid that contributes to many processes, including being a ‘building block’ for proteins and plays a crucial role in the protection of your tissues and repair of muscles after exercise [17].MSM. Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) is an important compound found in proteins, collagen and more.Used alone or in combination with glucosamine, MSM has been shown to help reduce symptoms of osteoarthritis [18].Bromelain. Bromelain is an anti-inflammatory enzyme found in pineapple extracts (ananas comosus).2 clinical trials showed bromelain to reduce joint stiffness, pain and swelling when used on 117 people with osteoarthritis in the knees.It was found to be just as effective as the painkilling drug diclofenac [19].Introducing Feel Younger® Joint Plus Support with 1500mg GlucosamineWe understand that it’s not always easy, nor practical to implement a variety of lifestyle changes - especially all at once.We’d advise that you make as many of the changes listed further up this page as possible, but to do so 1 or 2 at a time, make sure they stick and then move onto more.In the meantime, you can support your body with the essential nutrients and minerals it needs that can help support your joints.That’s why we’ve included the above ingredients in our Joint Plus Support Formula.By combining these ingredients into an easy to swallow capsule, we’ve taken the stress out of buying each of these ingredients separately, researching and experimenting how much of each you should take and then incorporating them into your diet/supplement regime.How Do You Take Feel Younger® Joint Plus Support with 1500mg Glucosamine?Ideally, take 3 capsules a day, 1 with each meal. It’s necessary to take with a meal to ensure the optimal absorption of the nutrients.Any Cautions?Although rare, some of the ingredients can cause nausea, stomach upset, abdominal pain, heartburn or skin rashes.SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN BY PREGNANT WOMEN.ALWAYS consult a healthcare professional before taking any new supplements.

£29.00
If you’d like to… Ease General PMS Symptoms Improve Your Mood & Anxiety Levels Improve the Health of Your Skin & Reduce Acne Sleep Better Boost Your Energy Boost Your Libido Cut Sugar Cravings that can lead to Poor Diet Choices Improve Your Ability to Cope With Stressful Situations Help Your Body Maintain Hormonal Homeostasis …you may want to give our Women’s Hormonal Enhancement supplement a try!As well as the benefits listed above, this product can potentially give you many other benefits, such as: Relieve Symptoms of the Menopause & Ease Hot Flashes Improved Digestion Support Your Immune System Supporting the Health of Your Eyes Improved Bone & Joint Health Promoting Brain Function & Health Supporting Cardiovascular Health Helping to Regulate Blood Sugar Levels Anti-Inflammatory Support Antioxidant Support Why is it important to Support Your Body Throughout your Menstrual Cycle?As you know, PreMenstrual Syndrome (PMS) can change your body in a variety of different ways, and can wreak havoc on your everyday quality of life.Your body is high in estrogen and progesterone during the first 20 (ish) days of your cycle, as your body prepares for potential pregnancy. Because of the high levels of these hormones, you may feel more confident and in a better mood.But, just over mid-way through the cycle, if pregnancy hasn’t occurred, your body decreases estrogen and progesterone levels in preparation to shed the uterine lining. It is this drop in hormonal levels that many doctors believe to be the root cause of PMS, however this has never been fully scientifically confirmed.There’s also a change in the brain that occurs. Lower estrogen levels can cause norepinephrine (stress neurochemical) to be released, leading to serotonin (relaxation neurochemical) and dopamine (motivation & reward neurochemical) to be produced less, which results in sleeping problems and low mood.We also believe that subsequently lowered endorphins, endocannabinoids and oxytocin further reduce mood and increase pain and discomfort, but further studies need to be done to prove this.PMS commonly begins around day 22-24 of the menstrual cycle. Not everyone experiences all the symptoms of PMS, and the intensity of the symptoms experienced can vary.The symptoms of PMS can include: Mood swings, upset, anxiety and/or irritableness Stomach pain and/or bloating Tender breasts Headaches Acne/greasy/spotty skin Greasy hair Change in appetite Change in libido Overly tired, or trouble sleeping Some women experience these symptoms particularly badly, leading to a condition called premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), which is a more severe version of PMS.Addressing as many of these symptoms as possible can lead to a better quality of life in the weeks leading up to and during menstruation, as well as increasing your confidence knowing that your life won’t be affected as much by something that was once out of your control.What can intensify PMS?There are many things that can actually worsen PMS symptoms, so it’s best to reduce or if possible eliminate: Caffeine Smoking Alcohol consumption Not exercising regularly Poor sleep, or not enough of it Poor diet. Although these factors will make PMS worse when done at any time, they can especially make things worse while you are suffering from the symptoms.Can you test for PMS?The most common symptoms of PMS are: Mood swings, upset, anxiety and/or irritableness Stomach pain and/or bloating Tender bosoms Headaches Acne/greasy/spotty skin Greasy hair Change in appetite Change in libido Overly tired, or trouble sleeping If you experience any of these symptoms, it’s best to make all the lifestyle changes in the section below, and give them time to see if they help your situation.If none of these changes help in the long run, consult your physician.The Top 7 Ways to Improve Your PMS SymptomsRegardless of how intense your PMS symptoms are, there are plenty of things you can do to help lessen the effects of the symptoms: Eat a clean, nutrient dense organic diet. Good diet will provide your body with the nutrients and minerals it needs to maintain homeostasis and better deal with the hormonal imbalance you experience during PMS [1].On the flip side, eating foods high in salt can lead to increased bloating and water retention. Excess sugar leads to inflammation and increased cramping. Foods high in saturated fats and trans-fatty acids can also intensify PMS symptoms. Stop Drinking (excess) Caffeine. Drinking too much caffeine can increase stress, anxiety and irritableness [2]. This is because caffeine stimulates the “fight or flight” response, putting your body into high alert predator mode, worried that something is around the corner! Quit Smoking. We all know that smoking isn’t a healthy habit… but did you know that it can actually affect your estrogen and progesterone levels, enhancing the debilitating effects of PMS? [3] Alcohol consumption. Drinking alcohol can interfere with women’s hormones, resulting in higher blood estrogen levels causing mood swings and irritability. A sedentary lifestyle. If you’re not exercising enough (a minimum of 150 minutes a week is recommended) you’re not making use of the natural PMS-busting feelings you’ll get from being active [4]. When you’re physically active, you’ll experience improved mood, circulation and blood flow, while also helping to regulate your hormone levels. Poor sleep, or not enough of it. When you’re sleep deprived, or have poor quality sleep, you’re more susceptible to stress [5], and your overall stress levels will be higher. This increase in stress knocks your body's hormones out of balance (fight or flight again).As if more stress wasn’t bad enough, sleep deprivation (or poor quality sleep) also impacts your emotions, appetite and mental clarity.If sleep is something you struggle with, you can try supplementing with our Sleep Aid Ultra product.If stress is something you struggle with, you can try supplementing with our Serenity Anti-Stress Support, 5 HTP and Saffron products - 5 HTP and Saffron can also help with sleep). Provide your body with the nutrients and minerals it needs to better cope with PMS symptoms: B Vitamins 1, 3, 5, 6 & 12. B vitamins play a crucial role in your body to create ATP (adenosine triphosphate) - which carries energy from the food you eat to the cells in your body [6]. Ensuring you have sufficient levels of B vitamins in your body can help to boost your energy.Zinc. An extremely important mineral that plays a part in hundreds of functions and processes in your body. In particular, zinc can help to treat acne outbreaks that may occur as a PMS symptom, by helping to reduce inflammation [7].L-arginine. Nitric oxide plays a crucial role in your body's response to insulin, and L-arginine is needed to produce nitric oxide. By increasing nitric oxide you can help your body manage and use blood sugar more effectively [8]. This can potentially cut sugar cravings when you’re experiencing PMS symptoms.L-tyrosine. Can help boost your mood, because it is an important component for the production of dopamine (a “feel-good” hormone).Studies have also shown that l-tyrosine can help you better manage in stressful situations [9], potentially reducing irritability.Bioperine. A patented formula of piperine (an extract from black pepper) that can help the body to better absorb nutrients. It can also help to reduce inflammation (think acne, stomach cramps and bloating) [10], while also promoting glucose uptake in cells, again helping to reduce sugar cravings [11].Tribulus Terrestris. Can help to boost your libido [12], improve mood [13] and combat inflammation [14].Dong Quai. Also known as angelica root, this herb has been used in traditional chinese medicine for centuries to help treat symptoms of PMS. It can help relieve hot flashes and night sweats you might experience during PMS [15], as well as having a relaxing effect, helping to soothe anxiety and irritableness [16].Damiana. Found in Central America, the West Indies and Mexico - this wild shrub has been used traditionally to help treat stomach complaints and to help boost libido.Panax Ginseng. Animal studies have shown that panax ginseng can help raise energy production in cells, which can help to resolve fatigue [17].Ashwagandha. Classed as an adaptogen (helps the body deal with stress), and has been used traditionally for centuries to help reduce stress and anxiety [18]. It can also help to improve sleep [19].Introducing Feel Younger® Women’s Hormonal Enhancement FormulaWe understand that it’s not always easy, nor practical to implement a variety of lifestyle changes - especially all at once.We’d advise that you make as many of those changes as possible, but do so 1 or 2 at a time, make sure they stick and then move onto more.It’s also important to give these changes time to show if they are effective or not… For example - quitting smoking the day before you’re due to experience PMS symptoms is unlikely to have a profound effect.In the meantime, you can support your body with the essential nutrients and minerals it needs that can help you cope more easily with your PMS.That’s why we’ve included the above ingredients in our Women’s Hormonal Enhancement Formula, along with the following ingredients to further enhance the effects of our formula:Epimedium, Catuaba Powder, Ginkgo Biloba, Ginger, Maca Root, Muira Puama, Mucuna Pruriens Extract, Asparagus Extract & Sarsaparilla Root.By combining these ingredients together into an easy to swallow capsule, we’ve taken the stress out of buying each of these ingredients separately, researching and experimenting how much of each you should take and then incorporating them into your diet/supplement regime.How Do You Take Feel Younger® Women’s Hormonal Enhancement Formula?Take two capsules once a day.For optimum results, we recommend that you take this product for no less than 8 weeks.It’s also best to exercise regularly, and eat as clean and nutrient dense a diet as possible to further enhance the results.DO NOT EXCEED RECOMMENDED DOSAGE.Any Cautions?This product is not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women.

Feel Younger Feel Younger - CoQ10 200mg 30caps
£35.00
Would You Like: Increased Energy Levels Increased Mitochondrial Function Help with Migraines Lower Blood Pressure Increased Muscle Performance During Exercise and/or reduced Muscle Pain Improved Fertility If so, you may want to try Co Enzyme Q10, also known as Ubiquinone.Co Enzyme Q10 can potentially help with all of these problems as well as having other benefits such as: Improved Gut Health Improved Brain, Heart & Lung Health More balanced Blood Sugar Levels Improved Mood Skin Protection from UV Radiation  What is CoQ10?Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is a key compound found in all cells in the body. It is a coenzyme, which means it helps enzymes work more effectively.How does CoQ10 work?CoQ10 is mainly found in the membrane of mitochondria, where it is used to make energy [1].It is also located in cell membranes and lipoproteins – such as LDL and HDL – where it acts as a powerful antioxidant. CoQ10 stabilizes cell membranes and helps cells work properly [2].Supplementing CoQ10 can help: Increase energy levels and help with exercise performance [3] Boost mitochondrial function [4] Protect against free radicals and inflammation [5]  Improve heart health [6] Reduce blood sugar levels and blood pressure [7] Help with migraines [8] Improve fertility [9] Reduce the side effects of statins [10]   People mainly use CoQ10 to, Increase Mitochondrial Function for Improved Cellular Energy ProductionEnergy-demanding organs in your body such as the brain, heart, kidneys, muscle and liver have the highest levels of CoQ10 all of which contain many mitochondria and use a lot of energy [11].Abnormal mitochondrial function can cause calcium uptake to be increased by cells, free radicals to be excessively produced, and a decrease in antioxidant protection. This can result in low energy in the brain cells and can even cause migraines [12].Potentially Improve MigrainesSince CoQ10 is largely found in the mitochondria of the cells, it has been shown to improve mitochondrial function and help decrease the inflammation that may occur during migraines [13].A study showed that CoQ10 supplementation was three times more likely to reduce the number of migraines than a placebo in 42 people [14].Additionally, CoQ10 deficiency has been observed in people suffering from migraines.A larger study showed that 1,550 people with low CoQ10 levels experienced fewer and less severe headaches after treatment with CoQ10 [15].Furthermore, it seems that CoQ10 can not only help treat migraines but may also prevent them [16].Increase Exercise PerformanceOxidative stress can affect muscle function, and thus, exercise performance [17].Similarly, abnormal mitochondrial function can reduce muscle energy, making it hard for muscles to contract efficiently and sustain exercise [18].CoQ10 can help exercise performance by decreasing oxidative stress in the cells and improving mitochondrial functions [19].In fact, one study investigated the effects of CoQ10 on physical activity. Those supplementing with 1,200 mg of CoQ10 per day for 60 days showed decreased oxidative stress [20].Furthermore, supplementing with CoQ10 can increase power during exercise and reduce fatigue, both of which can improve exercise performance [21].Improve Brain, Heart & Lung HealthThe brain is very susceptible to oxidative damage due to its high fatty acid content and its high demand for oxygen.It is this oxidative damage that enhances the production of harmful compounds that could affect memory, cognition and physical functions [22].CoQ10 may help reduce these harmful compounds build up in the brain.CoQ10 (100 – 320 mg/day) improved exercise capacity in patients with heart problems by increasing the ability of the lungs and heart to deliver oxygen to muscles [23].Out of all of your organs, your lungs have the most contact with oxygen, which makes them extremely susceptible to oxidative damage.Increased oxidative damage in the lungs and poor antioxidant protection, including low levels of CoQ10, make it more likely for lung issues such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) to occur [24].Furthermore, it has been shown that people suffering from these present lower levels of CoQ10 [25].A study showed that supplementing with CoQ10 helped reduce inflammation in people who had asthma, as well as their need for steroid medications to help treat it [26].Another study showed improvements in performance during exercise in COPD sufferers. This was observed through better tissue oxygenation and heart rate after supplementing with CoQ10 [27].How do you know if you would benefit from taking Co Q10?Various issues, including nutrient deficiencies, reduce the body’s ability to make CoQ10 or cause CoQ10 to be used up faster than it can be replaced. In these cases, supplementation can be helpful or may even be necessary [28].While it’s not a very common test, you absolutely can do a blood test to see if you have optimal blood levels of Co Enzyme Q10, and thereby you can deduce if you would potentially benefit from supplementing Co Enzyme Q10.Our CoQ10 capsules are high quality, high purity, all natural, vegetarian and vegan friendly and contains no nasty fillers or binders.Here at Feel Younger, we believe in providing strong doses at reasonable prices. Our Co Enzyme Q10 capsules provide a 200mg dose per capsule, and will cost you no more than $35, with discounts available on subscriptions for multiple bottles.How do you take it?Take one capsule a day. CoQ10 is fat soluble, so it should ideally be taken with a meal containing fat so your body can absorb it.Any cautions?Taking CoQ10 before you go to bed may cause insomnia in some people, so it's best to take it in the morning or afternoon.CoQ10 supplements can interact with some common medications, including blood thinners, antidepressants and chemotherapy drugs.Avoid using ubiquinone together with other herbal/health supplements that can also lower blood pressure.ALWAYS consult your doctor or pharmacist before taking CoQ10 supplements, especially if you are on any medications.

Feel Younger Feel Younger - Biotin 10mg 60caps
£15.00
Would you like: Improved Hair, Skin and Nail Health Increased Metabolism Healthier Brain Function Immune System Support How can Biotin help with this?Optimal levels of Biotin can potentially give you all these benefits and more.Biotin works as a coenzyme to help break down food, such as carbohydrates, fats and protein which in turn, may lead to increased energy levels.Biotin is essential for myelin sheath formation, a fatty substance that encompasses nerves and facilitates nerve impulse conduction. As such, Biotin deficiency can delay myelination.Vitamin B7 (Biotin) also plays a crucial role in white blood cell development.However, Biotin is most commonly used for:Healthy Skin - Biotin helps maintain the mucous membranes of the skin. Biotin also plays a crucial role in the metabolization of fat, which is necessary for maintaining healthy skin.Healthy Nails - A biotin deficiency may lead to brittle nails.Healthy Hair - Many hair products that claim to encourage healthier, stronger hair contain Biotin. Biotin deficiency may lead to hair loss, which indicates that the vitamin might be involved in keeping the hair healthy.What is Biotin?Also known as vitamin B-7 or vitamin H - Biotin is a coenzyme for carboxylases, the enzymes that assist in the metabolic processing of fats, proteins, and carbohydrates for energy production [1].Biotin is a water-soluble vitamin. This means it is not stored in your body for long. Your body does not manufacture it naturally, either. However, bacteria in your gut (called intestinal flora) can produce Biotin.Biotin is also needed for the development of white blood cells and a deficiency can be linked to impaired immune function and an increased risk of infection [2].How was it discovered?Biotin was first identified as a nutritive requirement of yeast. Originally called vitamin H, it was isolated in pure form in 1935; its structure was established in 1942, after it had been shown to be required by animals. Evidence for the necessity of biotin appeared with the discovery in 1927 that the addition of uncooked egg white to a diet that is otherwise nutritionally adequate, can produce toxicity and disease. This is because egg white contains a specific protein, avidin, that combines with biotin and thus prevents its absorption.Optimal Biotin levels Increase MetabolismBiotin is a coenzyme for carboxylases, the enzymes that assist in the metabolism of fats, proteins, and carbohydrates for energy production [3].These enzymes are essential for the following processes: Gluconeogenesis, the metabolic pathway that produces glucose from non-carbohydrate sources including amino acids [4]. Cellular energy production [5]. The use of branched-chain amino acids (e.g., leucine, isoleucine, and valine) for neurotransmitter production and energy [6]. Synthesis and breakdown of fatty acids for energy [7]. Insulin release [8]. Inadequate vitamin B7 levels in the body can slow down metabolism, which may lead to fatigue, digestive problems, and weight gain [9].Healthy Brain Function requires Optimal Biotin levelsBiotin is required for myelin sheath formation, a fatty substance that surrounds nerves and facilitates nerve impulse conduction. As such, biotin deficiency can delay myelination [10].Biotin deficiency may also lead to a number of other neurological symptoms, including seizures, lack of muscle coordination, learning disabilities, hallucinations, depression, and lethargy. Most of these conditions can be resolved with biotin supplementation when they are caused by biotin deficiency [11].  Optimal Biotin levels Support the Immune SystemBiotin increases the production of Th1 cytokines like IL-1β and IFN-γ, which are essential for eliciting an immune response to combat bacterial and viral infections [12].Poor levels of vitamin B7 are associated with decreased antibody synthesis, T cell decay, and lower amounts of spleen cells and T cells in both animals and humans [13].Decreased rates of cellular proliferation during Biotin deficiency may account for some of these adverse effects on immune function [14].Biotin is a coenzyme for carboxylases, the enzymes that assist in the metabolism of fats, proteins, and carbohydrates for energy production [15].How do you know if you’d benefit from more Biotin?There are several factors that can deplete your Biotin or increase your need for Biotin. These include:The BTD gene encodes biotinidase, an enzyme that recycles biotin. Biotinidase transports free biotin through the bloodstream and attaches biotin to other proteins [16]. Certain SNPs related to the BTD gene can increase your dietary requirement for Biotin.Lipoic acid competes with vitamin B7 for binding to the sodium-dependent multivitamin transporter (SMVT) in the intestine, so long-term use of lipoic acid could result in depleted vitamin B7 levels [17].Similarly, large doses of vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid) have the potential to compete with vitamin B7 for absorption by the SMVT [18].Prolonged use of antibiotics like tetracycline and sulfonamides can reduce biotin levels because they kill biotin-producing bacteria in the intestines [19].Furthermore, some anticonvulsants such as primidone and carbamazepine inhibit vitamin B7 absorption. Chronic anticonvulsant use can also increase vitamin B7 breakdown [20].Raw egg whites contain the protein avidin, which binds biotin tightly and inhibits its absorption [21].Smoking accelerates biotin breakdown, especially in women, resulting in marginal biotin deficiency [22].Chronic alcohol consumption can inhibit intestinal biotin absorption [23].You can do a blood test to assess Biotin levels, but a more sensitive and accurate test to measure for suboptimal biotin levels is for the urinary metabolites 3-Hydroxypropionic Acid (3-HPA) and 3-Hydroxyisovaleric Acid. Talk to your Practitioner to arrange these tests for you if you think you may be low.Why try Feel Younger® Biotin 10,000mcg for Hair, Skin and NailsOur Biotin capsules are high quality, high purity, contain no binders and are vegetarian and vegan friendly.Here at Feel Younger, we believe in supplying effective quantities, at reasonable prices… and that’s why a bottle of our Biotin capsules gives you a 10,000 mcg dose and costs a maximum of $15, with larger discounts available for subscriptions of purchases of multiple bottles.How do you take Biotin 10,000mcg for Hair, Skin and Nails?Take 1 capsule a day with water, preferably 20-30 minutes before a meal, or with a meal, depending on the advice of your healthcare practitionerALWAYS consult your doctor or pharmacist before taking Biotin supplements, especially as biotin supplementation can provide inaccurate results on some blood tests.Any cautions?Taking too much Biotin may cause skin rashes, digestive upset, problems with insulin release and kidney problems.Biotin is generally considered safe and no toxicity has been reported for doses up to 300,000 mcg/day orally and 20,000 mcg intravenously [24].Since it is a water-soluble vitamin, vitamin B7 overdose is unlikely as excess amounts are excreted in the urine [25].

Although curcuma longa is native to tropical South Asia, around 133 species worldwide are known to exist [1].Curcuminoids are compounds that can be found in turmeric and provide it’s famous bright yellow color.The most important of curcuminoids is curcumin, which has been heavily studied for its health benefits [2], mainly due to its powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects.Turmeric has been used all over the world in both cooking and medicine for over 4000 years.From inhaling the fumes of burning turmeric, to drinking its juice and applying pastes - the Ayurvedic medicinal system has been using turmeric to help heal wounds, bruises, skin conditions such as chicken pox, shingles, smallpox and acne and more since around 500 BCE.The end of the 13th century saw Marco Polo (a venetian merchant, writer and explorer) compare turmeric to saffron for its incredible qualities, color and high price.Turmeric can offer a whole host of health benefits, such as: It is a powerful anti-inflammatory and can help with arthritic conditions and osteoporosis [3] It is also a powerful antioxidant and can help to neutralize and block free radicals in the body [4] Curcumin can help to improve and boost levels of BDNF proteins (Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor) [5] Curcumin was shown to improve mood [6], focus and memory [7] in older people Studies have found curcumin can improve heart health [8] Two month supplementation of curcumin suggested improvements in hayfever symptoms [9] What is Ginger and How Does it Work?Originally from Southeast Asia, ginger grows underground on the Zingiber officinale plant and is closely related to turmeric and cardamom, all of which belong to the same family.Classed as a spice, it has been used for over 3000 years in both cooking and medicine because of its wide range of health benefits and unique taste.It’s also been used for millennia to help treat various health issues, such as high blood pressure, nausea, arthritis, migraines, pain, colds, and to help support digestion.Ginger has many purported health benefits: Ginger is a powerful antioxidant that can help to reduce inflammation and fight oxidative stress and unwanted microbes in the body [10] It can help to treat various forms of nausea [11], especially morning sickness [12] It can help with weight loss [13] by potentially reducing inflammation or increasing number of calories burned [14] A study saw significant improvements in people's osteoarthritic pain when taking ginger orally compared to a placebo [15] It is believed to have anti-diabetic properties and can help to reduce risk factors associated with heart problems [16] It can also help relieve chronic indigestion by helping to empty the stomach quicker (a delay in the process is believed to contribute to indigestion) [17] Ginger may help to reduce menstrual pain and was shown in a study to be as effective as 2 nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) [18]   Various studies have shown it can help to reduce the bad cholesterol in your body [19] Studies on animals have suggested that the powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects of ginger can help to protect the brain against age related decline, as well as inhibiting inflammatory responses in the brain [20] A study on middle aged women showed that ginger can also help to cognitive function [21] Ginger can inhibit the growth of some forms of bacteria, and reduce the risk of infections [22] BioperineA bioactive compound called piperine can be found in black pepper [23], and Bioperine is a patented piperine extract.Piperine is important, especially when used in conjunction with turmeric, because it can help to exponentially increase nutrient absorption [24]. This is important because, without adding Piperine, Turmeric is poorly absorbed.There are also other potential health benefits of piperine, such as: Helped to boost brain function in mice by decreasing inflammation [25], improving memory and protecting the myelin sheath [26] Test tube studies have shown piperine to have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects on UV (ultraviolet) induced skin damage [27] Another test tube study showed piperine can help to prevent high blood sugar levels [28] Why Try Feel Younger® Turmeric with Ginger Premium Formula?As you can see, there are many potential health benefits to turmeric and ginger, and with the addition of bioperine, the nutritional impact of these 2 amazing ingredients can be greatly enhanced.Our Turmeric with Ginger Premium Formula is antibiotic free, gluten free, all natural, sugar free, hormone free, lactose free, made in the USA and contains no nasty binders.We’ve taken the stress out of researching these ingredients, experimenting to find the optimal dosage and figuring out the best way to take this powerful combination of spices by combining all 3 ingredients into an easy to swallow capsule.Here at Feel Younger, we believe in providing strong doses at reasonable prices. Our Turmeric with Ginger capsules provide a 1310mg daily dose, and will cost you no more than $19, with discounts available on subscriptions for multiple bottles.How do you take it?For optimal results, take 2 capsules once a day, preferably 20-30 minutes before a meal with a glass of water.Any cautions?In rare cases, gut discomfort, nausea, or diarrhea may occur.Pregnant women who are close to labor or have a history of miscarriages should avoid this product due to gingers contraindictions of vaginal bleeding and clotting [29]ALWAYS consult a healthcare professional before taking any new supplements.

Would you like… Stronger, Healthier Joints Less Joint Pain and Stiffness Reduced inflammation Increased Flexibility Increased Range of Movement Joints that Move Freer and Easier If so, you may want to try our Turmeric Joint Formula.The combination of ingredients in this product may also give you the following additional benefits: Boosted Immune System Antioxidant support Improved heart health Improved mood Improved Digestive Health Support in healthy Weight Management Optimizing Blood Sugar Levels Reduced symptoms of Hayfever Indigestion Relief Reduced symptoms of Nausea (especially morning sickness) Menstrual Pain Relief Why is it Important to Support Your Joints?Joints facilitate the movement of bones in your body. Without them, we’d be unable to move freely due to the excruciating pain of bone rubbing on bone.Inside a joint is a layer of protective cushioning (cartilage) that covers the ends of each bone, and synovial fluid - a thick liquid in the joint.The cartilage is lubricated by the synovial fluid to reduce friction, allowing the bones to glide over each other freely and without pain.Having healthy joints will allow you to partake in any movement as small as opening your hand, to walking, running, jumping and playing sports freely and easily, without pain.What Causes Joint Pain and Deterioration?Arthritis is a condition that causes inflammation and pain in a joint.There are many different types of arthritis, with the most common being osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.There are many factors that can cause your joints to deteriorate and for a type of arthritis to develop, such as: Age Gender Genetics Poor diet Previous injuries Obesity Poor posture Medical conditions, including underactive thyroid Lack of exercise or not warming up properly Stress Changes in the weather Can You Test For Joint Deterioration?Generally, you will have symptoms in your joints such as pain, tenderness, swelling, inflammation, restricted movement, warm red skin over the affected joint (or it feels extremely cold), weakness, and muscle wasting.If you experience any of these symptoms, scans such as X-rays and MRI scans can be performed to help diagnose the problem.The Top 7 Ways to Support and Reduce Pain in Your Joints:While there are some things we cannot change, such as gender and genetics - here are the top 7 lifestyle changes you can make to help support your joint health: Eat a clean organic diet. Processed foods have been linked to increased inflammation [1]. Being overweight or obese puts more pressure on the joints, making them more susceptible to arthritis and injury [2]. Improve your posture [3] When your posture is not balanced, it puts an excessive strain on certain joints, while others have too little weight on them. This can cause pain in certain joints as the progressive extra pressure on them wears away at the joint. Exercise regularly, and always warm up - around 150 minutes a week is recommended [4]. Always wear underlayers to keep your joints warm, especially when it’s cold outside. Wear supportive clothing if you need it. If you’ve had a previous injury to a joint, such as a meniscus tear (knee cartilage) be sure to wear a knee support whenever you do strenuous exercise or prolonged periods of exercise [5]. Reduce your stress. The mind is powerful, and studies have shown the link between psychological pain and joint pain [6]. There are many ways to lower your stress levels, such as meditation. You can also try supplementing with our Serenity Anti-Stress Support or 5 HTP products Arrange a thyroid test [7] Lack of optimal thyroid function can cause a reduction in mitochondrial function, meaning less energy for all the body’s systems. It’s been theorized that this explains the strong correlation between joint pain and low thyroid conditions. Support your joints with essential nutrients and supportive plant compounds for optimal performance: TurmericTurmeric, or Curcuma Longa as it is scientifically called, is a spice well known for its vibrant yellow color and its use in asian cuisine. Although curcuma longa is native to tropical South Asia, around 133 species worldwide are known to exist [8].Curcuminoids are compounds that can be found in turmeric and provide it’s famous bright yellow color.

This is important because, without adding Piperine, Turmeric is poorly absorbed.Glucosamine Sulfate. Glucosamine naturally occurs in the body and works by building cartilage, ligaments and connective tissue ,as well as lubricating and strengthening joints for freer movement [19].As such, it’s an extremely popular supplement amongst athletes who are prone to joint injuries.A trial saw glucosamine improve acute knee injuries in 106 athletes after 4 weeks [20].Ginger. A study saw significant improvements in people's osteoarthritic pain when taking ginger orally compared to a placebo [21]Chondroitin Sulfate. Another naturally occurring compound in the body that plays a crucial role in cartilage that cushions your joints (hyaline cartilage).Chondroitin sulfate can help to prevent the breakdown of cartilage in joints, while synthesizing various cartilage components [22].Boswellia Extract. Also known as frankincense or olibanum, Boswellia extract comes from Boswellia trees and has been used in traditional eastern medicines for millenia to help treat rheumatoid arthritis and other inflammatory problems [23].A specific extract from boswellia trees called 5-loxin was used in two clinical trials on 135 osteoarthritis patients. It seemed to significantly improve joint function and pain [24].MSM. Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) is an important compound found in proteins, collagen and more.Used alone or in combination with glucosamine, MSM has been shown to help reduce symptoms of osteoarthritis [25].Quercetin. Quercetin is a pigment that is naturally found in a lot of fruits, vegetables and grains.It’s an extremely abundant antioxidant that plays a crucial role in combating free radical damage in your body. As such, it can help reduce inflammation.50 women with rheumatoid arthritis took part in an 8 week study of quercetin supplementation.They experienced reduced pain and stiffness in the morning, as well as reduced pain after an activity. Markers (such as TNFa) of inflammation were also reduced when compared to those who took the placebo [26].Methionine. Found in a lot of proteins in the body, methionine is an essential amino acid that contributes to many processes, including being a ‘building block’ for proteins and plays a crucial role in the protection of your tissues and repair of muscles after exercise [27].Bromelain. Bromelain is an anti-inflammatory enzyme found in pineapple extracts (ananas comosus).2 clinical trials showed bromelain to reduce joint stiffness, pain and swelling when used on 117 people with osteoarthritis in the knees.It was found to be just as effective as the painkilling drug diclofenac [28].Introducing Feel Younger® Turmeric Joint FormulaWe understand that it’s not always easy, nor practical to implement a variety of lifestyle changes - especially all at once.We’d advise that you make as many of the changes listed further up this page as possible, but to do so 1 or 2 at a time, make sure they stick and then move onto more.In the meantime, you can support your body with the essential nutrients and minerals it needs that can help support your joints.That’s why we’ve included the above ingredients in our Turmeric Joint Formula.By combining these ingredients into an easy to swallow capsule, we’ve taken the stress out of buying each of these ingredients separately, researching and experimenting how much of each you should take and then incorporating them into your diet/supplement regime.How do you take Feel Younger® Turmeric Joint Formula?Take 2 capsules, once a day.For optimal results, take the capsules 20-30 minutes before a meal with a glass of water.Any cautions?Although rare, some of the ingredients can cause nausea, stomach upset, abdominal pain, heartburn or skin rashes.SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN BY PREGNANT WOMEN.ALWAYS consult a healthcare professional before taking any new supplements.
