What is Turmeric and How Does it Work?
Turmeric, 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 [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]
Bioperine
A 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]

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Reducing blood sugar levels
Weight loss
Muscle growth

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

What is Magnesium?Magnesium is an important mineral that’s crucially important for your body to function properly.It’s the fourth most abundant mineral found in your body[2] and it’s essential to all living cells and vital for myriad physiological functions[3].The reason why the benefits are so numerous and varied is because of the many ways that optimal levels of magnesium are necessary to function optimally.For instance, magnesium is required for the production of ATP (the main source of energy in our cells)[4], and the production of DNA, RNA, and proteins[5].Magnesium plays an important role in cell-to-cell communication[6].Over 300 enzymes (biological catalysts that make chemical processes happen in our body) require the presence of magnesium to function properly[7].Because of its positive charge, magnesium stabilizes the cellular membranes[8].How common is magnesium deficiency?While a deficiency severe enough to warrant medical attention is relatively rare, some health professionals believe that suboptimal levels of magnesium are relatively common, with estimates as high as 75% of people in the US not having a sufficient intake,[16] let alone an optimal intake, which has yet to be precisely defined.As with any essential nutrient, here at Feel Younger we believe that it’s always ideal to test your magnesium levels to be sure if it would be beneficial to take.The best tests for Magnesium are generally considered to be: RBC (red blood cell) or intracellular magnesium, to get a true understanding of overall deficiency.The more common tests are plasma or serum magnesium, which are much cheaper and easily available, but which are less of a true reflection of your body’s stores of magnesium, as your body will tend to keep your plasma and serum levels in a tight range in all but severe cases of deficiency.RBC (red blood cell) or intracellular magnesium tests, on the other hand, are considered to give a more accurate indication of true, overall levels of magnesium stores in the cells, which is what actually matters when assessing if levels are optimum.If you’re unable to access these tests however, then, given that Magnesium is a natural substance that is very safe for the vast majority of the population (see below for exceptions), it seems reasonable to try it, if you would like to support your body to Feeling Younger and Healthier, especially if you identify with some of the early signs of deficiency listed above.What causes Magnesium Deficiency?The most commonly understood causes of Magnesium Deficiency include[17]:
a poor diet
type 2 diabetes
digestive problems such as Crohn’s disease
long-term vomiting or diarrhoea
kidney problems
long-term use of diuretics
some medicines (for example, fluid tablets and medicines for ulcers or reflux) can cause low magnesium levels if taken for long periods
alcoholism
In addition, some healthcare professionals point to the fact that, even in the case of a relatively good diet, it’s an established fact that the soil in which our food grows is 75%-90% lower in essential minerals like magnesium than it was 100 years ago.[18]So whether you’re eating plants, which can only get the minerals from the soil, or whether you’re eating animals that ate those plants, the results is the same: the food we’re eating is more mineral depleted, and therefore magnesium depleted, than it was up until relatively recently in our evolution.Finally, there is strong evidence that stress itself depletes magnesium[19]. This creates a vicious cycle where stress depletes magnesium, and then lowered magnesium reduces stress. Presumably, in order to break this cycle, you would need to replenish magnesium as well as reduce stress.What’s the Best Form of Magnesium to Take?There are many different forms of magnesium available, including citrate, sulfate, oxide, chloride and malate.However, the form that’s considered the best, the most easily absorbed by the body, is Magnesium Glycinate.Forms of magnesium that are less well absorbed and cheaper, like for instance magnesium oxide, have a laxative effect. As a general rule, the less well absorbed the form of magnesium is, the more of a laxative effect it’ll have.When consuming mineral supplements, the best form is generally considered to be when it’s chelated (chemically bonded) to an amino acid. Why is this? Because minerals in their raw form are inorganic, meaning that the body does not recognise them as food, often doesn’t absorb them well, and then also struggles to excrete them.Conversely, when a mineral is bonded to an amino acid, or chelated, this makes the mineral and Organic Mineral i.e. it’s the same form found in food, and so your body recognises the magnesium as food, and absorbs it a lot better.Magnesium Glycinate then, the type sold by Feel Younger, is considered the best form of magnesium because it’s bonded to Glycine, an abundant amino acid in the body which has a whole host of it’s own benefits[20], including:
Glycine is one of the building blocks of the body’s most powerful natural antioxidant, glutathione
Necessary to make collagen, for healthy skin
Can improve sleep quality
Can help keep blood sugar balanced
May protect the liver and the heart
Can protect against muscle loss.
Although Glycine is not considered as an essential amino acid, because the body is capable of making its own, if necessary, many healthcare professionals consider it a good idea to increase glycine intake, either through natural foods like bone broth, or via supplementation.Feel Younger is proud to present our Magnesium Glycinate, containing 425mg of Elemental Magnesium per serving, which is close to the recommended daily amount for most people, enough to make up for the shortfall in almost any diet.How do you take Feel Younger ® Magnesium Glycinate?Ideally take with water directly before eating a meal, for maximum absorption, but can be taken any time, or as directed by a healthcare professional.Are there any cautions?Though magnesium supplements are generally considered safe, you should check with a healthcare professional before taking them, especially if you have a medical condition.The mineral supplement may be unsafe for people who take certain diuretics, heart medications, or antibiotics[21].Most people who take magnesium supplements don’t experience side effects, but magnesium can cause gut-related issues such as diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting, especially when used in large doses[22].It’s important to note that people with kidney issues are at a higher risk of experiencing adverse effects related to magnesium supplements[23].Always consult a qualified healthcare professional before making any changes to your diet or lifestyle.

Antiviral Immune System Support
Antioxidant Support
Inflammation Support
Improved Heart Health
A Nutritional Boost
If so, you may want to give our Elderberry Immune Support a try. Elderberry is also believed to have many other benefits, some of which are:
Helping to treat urinary tract & bladder infections and cystitis
Providing allergy relief
Improving digestive health
Improving blood sugar control
What is Elderberry and where does it come from?Elderberry comes from the Sambucus tree, which is a plant in the Adoxaceae family.Although Elderberry grows across North Africa, Asia and America, it is native to Europe and the most common variety is the black elderberry (Sambucus nigra) or European elder [1].Elderberry hosts an impressive nutritional profile. The fruits are dense in vitamins and minerals such as carotenoids (provitamin a), vitamin c, phosphorus, iron potassium, calcium and more [2].Elderberry flowers, berries and leaves also contain lots of antioxidants (anthocyanins, phenolics & flavonoids) that can help balance the immune system and lower oxidative stress [3].John Evelyn (a british researcher in the 17th century) said: “If the medicinal properties of its leaves, bark and berries (elderberry) were fully known, I cannot tell what our country man could ail for which he might not fetch a remedy, either for sickness or wounds.”Its use has been widespread throughout history, with elderberry based medication records dating as far back as Ancient Egypt, it’s been used to help treat fevers, flus, colds, cuts, burns and toothache.How can Elderberry support you?Elderberry’s impressive nutritional profile can provide many benefits, such as:
Immune system support due to the antioxidants found in the leaves, berries and flowers [4]
Helping to reduce inflammation due to their flavonoid content [5]
Improving heart health by lowering liver cholesterol, blood triglycerides, fat build up, blood pressure and blood sugar level control [6]
People mainly use Elderberry to:Boost Their Immune SystemAir traveling puts the immune system under enormous stress. Those who fly frequently (and especially long distance) are more susceptible to the common cold.A double-blind placebo-controlled study on air travelers showed that Elderberry supplementation reduced cold symptoms and duration [7].Another double-blind placebo-controlled study tested the efficacy of 15 ml of Elderberry extract syrup, given 4 times a day to 60 patients who were suffering from influenza-like symptoms.The control group who did not take elderberry extract took 7-8 days to improve, compared to 2-4 days for those who took the syrup [8]A different study on elderberry extract and the reduction of influenza b symptoms showed that those given the elderberry extract recovered in 2-3 days, compared to at least 6 days in the placebo group [9].A study on rats showed elderberry polyphenols supported immune defense by increasing the number of white blood cells [10].Promote Heart HealthElderberry may improve some markers of blood vessels and heart health.Diets high in flavonoids such as anthocyanins (which are found in elderberries) have been shown to reduce the risk of heart problems [11].Numerous studies have shown that elderberry juice can help reduce the total level of fat in the blood, while decreasing cholesterol [12].Type-2 diabetes is one of the major contributors to heart and vascular problems, so blood sugar management is imperative to eliminate the risk of contracting these problems.Various studies on mice have shown that elderberries can help improve blood sugar levels while increasing insulin secretion [13].Why Try Feel Younger® Elderberry Immune Support, 600mg Elderberry Fruit Extract?Our Elderberry Immune Support capsules are high quality, high purity, all natural, sugar free, lactose free, corn free, vegetarian and vegan friendly and contain no nasty binders.Here at Feel Younger, we believe in providing strong doses at reasonable prices.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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