Cymbiotika - NMN 60 caps (Trans-Resveratrol L-Theanine)
£69.95
Product Details
Nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) is the direct precursor of the essential molecule Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD+) and is a key component for increased NAD+ levels within all cells.
NAD plays a significant role in mitochondrial function, energy, metabolism, and maintenance of healthy gene expression. When we boost NMN levels in the body, we enhance the biosynthesis of NAD and help restore declining levels of NAD as we age.Supplementing NMN as part of your daily regime could offer energy revitalization, protection from the aging process by maintaining healthy DNA, improvements in cognitive health, a decreased risk of cardiovascular complications, and improved cellular metabolism.This formula combines all the health benefits of NMN with added polyphenols and antioxidants resulting in a supplement that can significantly boost NAD levels throughout the body.
Ingrediants
NMN (Nicotinamide Mononucleotide): A molecule naturally occurring in all life forms. NMN is the direct precursor to the essential molecule NAD and is known to boost NAD levels in cells.

Pro-Tip
The science is clear: when supplementing with NAD boosters, it’s critical to support your body’s methylation processes. Our Synergy B12 is the cornerstone of methylation, providing high octane methyl compounds such as Methylcobalamin and L-Methylfolate. Another important compound to include when boosting NAD is Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine), which lowers homocysteine levels throughout the body. Vitamin B6 is also in our Synergy B-12 formula. The combination of these two formulas makes for a powerful weapon against premature aging, and a laundry list of other ailments.

APE Nutrition - Organic MCT Oil 473ml
£23.49
MCT Oil is a real food derived, rapid source of energy. Unlike other fat sources, it doesn’t need to be broken down on consumption, so is either used as an instant source of ATP energy or turned into ketones. Also C8 and C10 MCTs have been shown to have great antimicrobial properties, which means they help combat gut issues like Candida. Our MCT Oil comes in a 473ml glass bottle, is 100% derived from sustainably sourced organic coconuts and absolutely free of palm oil.
ORGANIC
100% derived from sustainably sourced organic coconuts
NO PALM OIL
We use absolutely no palm oil in the making of this product
BRAIN POWER
MCT Oil is quickly turned in to ketones, which can easily cross the blood brain barrier aiding cognition
BPA FREE
Our MCT comes in a BPA free glass bottle
ABOUT THE PRODUCT
Organic MCT Oil
Our MCT Oil is 100% derived from sustainably sourced organic coconuts and contains 60% C8 (Caprylic Acid) and 40% C10 (Capric Acid) Medium Chain Triglycerides. We use absolutely no palm oil in the making of this product.
MCT Oil is odourless and flavourless, making it a great for addition to coffee, tea, smoothies, shakes or salads.
MCT Oil is one of the key ingredients in Bulletproof coffee. The reason for its inclusion is that when added to coffee the fat slows down caffeine absorption, negating the spike and crash or jitters people often feel and instead providing several hours of steadily released energy.
Also C8 and C10 MCTs have been shown to have great antimicrobial properties, which means they help combat gut issues like Candida.
Our MCT comes in a BPA free glass bottle to align with our environmental and social responsibility.
HOW TO USE
Start by using 10ml per ay and steadily increase intake as required. Due to how quickly MCT oil is metabolised it can cause gastric upset if consumed in higher amounts than your body can handle. Therefore it is advisable to increase your intake slowly as tolerance builds.
WHEN TO USE
Being the key ingredients in Bulletproof Coffee, MCT Oil is most often added to coffee or tea to slow down the caffeine absorption and create a time released energy effect. However, it’s also great to cook with or as an addition to salads for that extra energy boost. Remember to keep temperatures below 160 degrees celsius when cooking to ensure the oil doesn’t saturate.
FAQS
WHY ORGANIC MCT OIL?
Organic food is produced without the use of chemical fertilisers, pesticides or any other artificial chemicals. A number of studies have shown that exposure to these chemicals in high doses, or low does over a long period can have serious detrimental impacts on human health. Find out more here. When consuming any of our products, there’s no danger of you ingesting any of these damaging substances because they are all certified organic by the Soil Association, the UK’s premium organic certification body.
CAN I COOK USING MCT OIL?
Yes, MCT Oil can be used for cooking. However, aim to keep the cooking temperature below 320 Fahrenheit / 160 Celsius to ensure all the health benefits are maintained.
IS MCT OIL MADE FROM COCONUT OR PALM OIL?
Our MCT Oil is 100% derived from sustainably sourced organic coconuts and contains absolutely no palm oil. We made this decision for environmental reasons as the rising demand for palm oil is having a devastating impact on the environment.
DOES MCT OIL HELP YOU GET IN TO KETOSIS FASTER?
Ketosis is a metabolic state in which your body uses primarily fat and ketones for fuel as opposed to carbohydrates. In practical terms, if your blood ketones levels are above 0.5mmol then you can consider yourself in ketosis. MCT Oil is rapidly converted by the body to be used as an instant source of energy or converted in to ketones. Therefore definitely can help you achieve ketosis at a faster rate. However, there’s much more to following a ketogenic diet than just consuming MCT Oil. If you want to find out more, our Keto Transition Guide is a great place to start.
HOW MUCH MCT OIL SHOULD I USE?
Consuming too much MCT Oil too quickly can cause gastric upset. Therefore we recommend starting out with 5ml per serving and slowly increasing your intake as tolerance builds.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF MCT OIL?
Brain Power - MCT Oil is quickly turned in to ketones, which can easily cross the blood brain barrier aiding cognition.
Increased Energy - Cultivating the fat burning state of ketosis creates a noticeable impact on energy levels. Instead of the post lunch energy crash a lot of people have grown accustomed to, expect energy to build throughout the day.
Less Cravings - No more snacking will be required to top up carbohydrate levels.
WILL MCT OIL BREAK MY FAST?
It depends. If you’re fasting for weight loss then MCT Oil can be great tool to help curb cravings to your first meal. However, as MCT Oil contains calories it will technically break your fast and mitigate some of the weight loss and autopaghy benefits.
IS MCT OIL GOOD FOR BRAIN HEALTH?
MCT Oil is quickly turned in to ketones which can cross the blood-brain barrier to be used as fuel for your brain. People in ketosis often report high levels of focus and energy.
WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN C8 & C10 MCTS?
C8 MCTs convert to ketones at a slightly quicker rate than C10 MCTs. However, due to how quickly C8 MCT Oil converts, some people find that taking it in isolation can cause gastric upset. Also, C8 and C10 MCTs have a slightly different micronutrient profile. Therefore we opted for a combination of both to ensure a wider variety of micronutrients and no gastric discomfort when consuming our product.

GI Distress Relief™ is Body Ecology’s key to high-quality, live probiotic products.
Probiotics are live bacteria and yeasts that are proven to support a healthy digestive system. What many consumers don’t know is that not all probiotics are the same. In fact, not all probiotics make it to your gut intact! The type of strains of bacteria and yeasts in your probiotics matter. You need something strong, resilient, and most importantly, effective.
Our formula contains a superstar blend of microscopic strains of specific bacteria and yeast. This superstar blend is more likely to survive the acidic journey through the stomach and into the colon, which may help rejuvenate your overall gut health. (1)
Fact: GI Distress Relief™ contains 50 billion good microscopic alchemists per serving. Forty billion Bifidobacteria -- made up of two proven Bifidus lactis (Howaru HN019 and Bl-04) strains -- combined with 10 billion S. boulardii -- a beneficial yeast that helps fight candida -- are ready and able to reach and colonize your GI tract.
Healthy Gut, Healthy Life: Give Your Gut The Support It Needs
Gut health has been connected to digestion, mood, overall health, immunity, and even the way people think! Taking the time to heal your gut is a sure path to improving overall health. The first step is to understand what conditions you may be suffering from. The second step is to take a probiotic that offers the right strains of bacteria and yeast that are known to promote a healthy gut microbiome.
As we continue to learn more about microbiomes (this is the collection of microbes that live inside and on our bodies that keep us healthy), scientists are realizing the complexity of our microbiomes and how certain strains of bacteria in the same species can have significantly different characteristics and properties.
For example:
Within the species of Bifidus, the Bifidus lactis strain Howaru has been shown to help resolve irritable bowel disease. (2)
Not all strains of Bifidus have this ability.
Most importantly, some strains of bacteria, viruses, or yeast in a species can survive the long journey through your digestive tract, and some can’t. Some secrete certain substances that are useful to other microbes living in the same area, and some within the same species can be harmful. This is also true for yeast. When choosing a probiotic, you must choose one that provides strains that can make the journey and support the overall health of your gut.
For example:
Candida albicans is a pathogenic yeast, which can lead to unwanted infections. However, Saccharomyces boulardii is a wonderful yeast that helps control pathogenic yeast and promotes overall health.
S. boulardii may help negate gliotoxin, a nasty toxin that candida and mold make to suppress the immune system. (4)
Different strains of microbes perform different jobs. We have selected our specific strains for their demonstrated effectiveness in supporting healthy guts. Strain-specific probiotics (with research showing the conditions they treat) are the future.
You can find two superstar strains in Body Ecology’s GI Distress Relief™:
Why We Choose To Focus on B. lactis BL-04 and B. lactis HN019
Bifidobacteria is plush in your system as an infant if you are breastfed. However, as you age, this essential bacteria diminishes - to almost nothing in the elderly. The lack of this important bacteria can lead to gut dysbiosis. Gut dysbiosis is an imbalance of gut microflora, or microbial community, which leads to illness and inflammation. Simply put, it is when harmful bacteria have overpowered good bacteria in your gut, which can lead to depression, bloating, and other maladies.
When healthy bacterias are often overwhelmed by harmful bacteria due to antibiotics, stress, poor sleep, hygiene, infections, and especially a chemically-laden, processed-food diet, this can negatively impact your immunity.
Bifidobacteria help fight inflammation, protect your gut lining, and maintain a balanced environment. (3) They're essential in helping to ward off infection and may even protect against the development of disease. (3) This is but one reason why probiotics become increasingly important with each passing year. This is also why taking GI Distress Relief™ is so important to your overall health.
As you age, a strain-specific probiotic like GI Distress Relief™ — containing the B. lactis HN019 strain shown to be especially helpful to older people and those with gut infections — can help support both your immune system and your digestive function. (4)
The Journey of Good Health Begins In The Gut
A healthy gut is the root of a healthy life. A healthy gut directly impacts all aspects of your life, including mood, cognition, immunity, digestion, and overall health and well-being. If you want a healthy life, functional medical practitioners know “First, fix the gut.”
Regardless of your health struggles, a healthy gut is key to improving your immune system and finding overall health and wellness. Your gut is your key to good health. When you heal your gut, you are empowered to shift your entire wellbeing and positively impact how well you age.
You have control over what’s happening in your gut! Even when struggling with chronic symptoms and illness, the steps you take to support your gut can lead to overall improvements in your health. Your microbiome is evolving every minute, and can easily be guided to improve. While you may already know that disease begins in your gut, your health also originates there. (5) This is critical to understand. When you help your gut recover, you positively influence your health and your longevity.
Support your gut’s repair with these standout ingredients in GI Distress Relief™:
Bifidus lactis - These two scientifically-supported strains, B. lactis Bl-04® and B. lactis HN019, have a long list of benefits. B. lactis Bl-04® may help improve hay fever, allergies, and immune response while helping to decrease side effects from antibiotics. (6,7) B. lactis HN019 may promote better immunity and bowel elimination while helping to relieve constipation. (8,9)
Saccharomyces boulardii - S. boulardii is one of the few probiotic yeasts that scientists have studied in the context of type 2 diabetes. (10) In animal studies, researchers found that S. boulardii may help minimize liver damage and inflammation. It also safeguards against diarrhea and can break down toxins from pathogenic bacteria, including the anthrax toxin. (11)
Sunfiber - This unique prebiotic (fiber) is essential to our gut-soothing formulation. Tasteless, colorless, water-soluble, and gluten-free, Sunfiber successfully feeds Bifidus. It’s also safe for those who may have SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth), SIFO (small intestinal fungal overgrowth), IMO (intestinal methanogen overgrowth), and histamine intolerance. (12)
If you have digestive problems, autoimmune issues, mood disorders, and aren’t happy with how you’re aging, or if you find yourself dragging through your day more often than you used to, a strain-specific probiotic like GI Distress Relief™ can help. Of course, you’ll want to remove the cause or causes of your gut dysbiosis — especially inflammatory foods and infections like candida. Then, focus on establishing a healthy microbiome in your small and large intestines.

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]
Why Try Feel Younger® Organic Ashwagandha 1300mg with Black Pepper?Our Organic ashwagandha is high quality, high purity, organic, gluten free, all natural, non GMO, sugar free, vegan and vegetarian friendly, hormone free, lactose free and contains no nasty fillers or binders.We use the highest quality black pepper, which is also Organic.We’ve taken the stress out of powder form supplements by producing our Organic ashwagandha into easy to swallow capsules.How do you take Feel Younger® Organic Ashwagandha 1300mg with Black Pepper?Take 2 capsules once a day, preferably 20-30 minutes before a meal.Any cautions?In rare cases, people may experience stomach discomfort, drowsiness and diarrhoea.ALWAYS consult a healthcare professional before taking any new supplements.

Why is it important to get enough ‘good quality’ sleep?In a world where we are more ‘busy’ than ever - with work, chores, children, relationships and many more aspects of our lives - it’s no surprise that sleep has fallen down the list of priorities for a lot of people.But, for most adults, 7-8 hours sleep is necessary in order to wake up feeling energized and focused for the busy day ahead.There are many reasons why getting enough good quality sleep every night is so important:
Allows our brain and body to rest, which means we will wake up feeling energized and focused [1]
Gives the brain time to process new information that we have learnt throughout the day [2]
Enables muscle tissue repair [3]
Maintaining healthy weight [4]
Regulating blood sugar levels [5]
Maintaining good overall health [6]
In contrast, not getting enough sleep, or getting poor quality disrupted sleep, can have adverse effects on your health, energy and mental cognition, both in the short term, and the long term.Poor sleep has been linked to:
Heightened stress response [7]
Increased or more persistent pain [8]
Depression [9]
Anxiety [10]
Cognition, memory and performance deficits [11]
What contributes to not getting enough sleep, or having poor quality sleep?There are many environmental and physiological factors that can contribute to poor sleep:
Irregular sleep schedule
Stress
Physical pain
Certain Medications
Age
Fidgeting or snoring sleeping partners (people/pets you share a bedroom with)
The foods you eat, especially just before bed
Drinking alcohol and/or Caffeine
Not seeing enough natural bright light early in the dayBrain stimulation and blue light screens before bed (electronic devices, video games, computer screens etc.)
Napping late in the afternoon/evening
Using your bed for activities other than sleep (watching tv, playing video games, electronic devices, working etc.)
How can you Test how well you sleep?The simplest indicator is how rested and energized you feel when you wake up. Any feeling of grogginess should be very short lived.If you do have issues getting to sleep, staying asleep, or waking feeling refreshed, you may want to further investigate why.A sleep study, or polysomnography, is a test that can be used to help diagnose sleeping disorders.Polysomnography works by measuring your brain waves, oxygen levels in your blood, breathing and heart rate. It will also measure your leg and eye movements.Typically a polysomnography is conducted at a hospital or sleep center, so you may want to try the below guide first to see if these simple lifestyle changes are sufficient to make you feel rested again…The Top 12 Ways to get better quality sleep and more of it:As we’ve outlined further up this page, it’s absolutely essential that you get enough uninterrupted sleep (7-8 hours for the average adult) in order to wake up feeling energized and focused for the day.Here’s the top 12 ways you can do that:
Stick to a sleeping routine. When it comes to sleep - routine is everything. Consistently sleeping and waking at the same time can aid to enhanced long-term sleep quality [12]
Reduce your stress. When your body is in a state of stress (fight or flight mode) the adrenal glands are activated [13]. Historically, this is so we had the energy to run from predators, which was not a time for sleeping.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
Find the best position to sleep in for your physical pain. Unfortunately, this is not an easy one to solve… However, we live in a world where every type of information is at your fingertips. Try searching something along the lines of:“Best position to sleep in for back pain”
Kick your pet or partner out of your bed. Again, not an easy one to solve. You may love sleeping with your partner, or your pet! But the truth is, if you’re being woken up numerous times a night because of their snoring or moving around… it could be time for them (or you) to hit the spare room!
Don’t drink too much alcohol. Excessive alcohol drinking disrupts sleep-related physiology [14]
Don’t eat too close to bedtime. Eating should generally stop at least 2 hours before you go to sleep. If you go to bed sooner than 2 hours after you eat, your body is using valuable energy in your sleep to digest and metabolize the food.This is valuable energy that could be used to help repair damaged tissues in your body, as well as lessening the time your brain and body have to rest and properly re-energize.
Avoid certain foods before bed. Without going into too much detail, here are some foods you should steer clear of before you go to bed (as well as remembering the 2+ hour rule we mentioned in the previous step):
Fried, fatty & ‘heavy’ foods, such as burgers, fries and steaks. These types of food can lay heavy in your stomach and cause indigestion, which will keep you up at night or make it harder to fall asleep.
High water content such as cucumber & watermelon. Eating foods with a high water content before bed will likely get you up in the middle of the night to go pee!
Caffeine. Espresso ice cream, chocolate, coffee, certain types of tea are a few examples of foods that contain caffeine. Caffeine is a stimulant, and can make it more difficult for you to get to the deeper stages of sleep that are crucial to waking up energized and focused. This is also true, to a lesser degree, about chocolate.
Sugary Foods. Insulin spikes can disrupt your sleeping patterns, so it’s best to skip dessert if it’s close to bedtime.
Tyramine. Found in processed meats, nuts, red wine, cheese and more - tyramine is an amino acid that triggers the release of norepinephrine (noradrenaline) which stimulates the body and plays a crucial part in the fight or flight state of the body, thus preventing you from falling asleep!
Spice. Even if you love the heat, spicy foods stimulate circulation and raise your body’s temperature. Spicy foods can also cause heartburn, coupled with being too hot - you have a recipe for insomnia (finding it hard to fall asleep, waking up several times during the night and feeling tired throughout the day).
Acidic Foods. Raw onions, white wine, citrusy drinks or sauces and more can induce heartburn (acid reflux).
“Gassy” foods. Think beans and brussels sprouts. While there’s no doubt that fruit and vegetables high in fiber are good for the body - cramping at night due to excess gas is going to keep you awake, so you should avoid them before bed.
Avoid Blue Light at least 1 hour before bed. Blue light exposure suppresses the secretion of melatonin (the hormone that makes you sleepy). This is true for any lights, blue light does this more effectively [15].
Any electronic device you own emits blue light - your tv, laptop, computer monitor, cell phone, smart tablet, smart watch, LED lighting and more…In an ideal world, you’d sit in a lightly candlelit room staring at the wall until you feel tired, then you’d go to bed… However, we appreciate this probably isn’t going to happen.On most electronic devices (especially tablets, computers and cell phones) there is a setting that will cut out some blue light. The mode is usually called night light, eye comfort shield, or something along those lines. It will tint the screen with a yellow hue, removing most of the blue light your device is emitting. You’ll also be able to change the strength, so the more yellow your screen looks, the more blue light you’re cutting out.We recommend using this mode at least 2 hours before you go to bed.You can also buy tinted glasses (search “bluelight glasses”) that have the same effect, although you won’t be able to control the strength like you can on your device.
Turn the lights down low. In addition to the above point, turning the “big light” off in your living room, and turning all other lights down low will help with melatonin secretion.
Don’t watch TV or work in bed. When you do other activities in your bed (other than sleeping) your brain associates that activity with your bed.This means that if you frequently work from your bed, your brain will switch into work mode (stress/fight or flight mode) and will hinder your sleeping efforts.
Don’t sleep in to accommodate a late night. Instead, get up at your regular time so your body doesn’t lose its rhythm, and take an early afternoon (not late afternoon) nap if necessary.
Help your body sleep easier by supplying it with vital nutrients and minerals it needs to sleep well, such as:
MelatoninFirst discovered by Aaron Lerner (a dermatologist) in 1958, melatonin has been studied heavily since.Lerner isolated a compound in the pineal gland of a cow, which he named melatonin.He then began to study the effect of melatonin on sleep by self experimenting with very large doses of melatonin, to which he reported no side effects other than drowsiness.Naturally produced in the pineal gland in your brain [16], melatonin helps to regulate the circadian rhythm in your body (sleep-wake cycle) [17].When it starts to get dark, your melatonin levels rise, which is how your body knows it’s time to go to sleep.When it gets light, melatonin levels decrease to help you wake up [18].Blue light exposure at night interrupts sleep because melatonin levels are dramatically decreased [19], however being in darkness only permits melatonin production, as opposed to stimulating it [20].Today, melatonin is one of the most popular supplements in sleep aid because it is a natural treatment for sleeping disorders such as insomnia [21].Rather than “putting” you to sleep, like a lot of over the counter drugs, melatonin lets your body recognise it’s nighttime and helps you relax and fall asleep more easily.Additionally, melatonin attaches to receptors throughout your body and helps them to relax [22].A review of 11 studies showed melatonin to decrease the time it took to fall asleep, as well as increasing total sleep time compared to a placebo [23].Jet lag is a temporary sleeping disorder, caused by your body’s circadian rhythm being out of sync with the new timezone you’ve just arrived in.An analysis of various studies saw that melatonin was likely to help reduce the effects of jet lag [24].CalciumExtreme fatigue can be caused by calcium deficiency, which can lead to insomnia [25].Low levels of calcium can also cause low mood, and sleeping disorders are a core symptom of low mood [26].Studies conducted on women suffering from PMS claimed that calcium can help to relieve symptoms of low mood, anxiety, water retention and fatigue [27].Vitamin B6This B vitamin plays a crucial role in regulating mood because it creates neurotransmitters that can regulate emotions, such as dopamine, GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) and serotonin [28].MagnesiumMagnesium helps to regulate many neurotransmitters that are involved in sleep, such as GABA [29].A review on insomnia sufferers saw that magnesium supplements helped to lower the time it took for older adults to fall asleep [30].A study on around 4,000 adults saw improvements in sleep duration and quality linked to magnesium intake [31].Furthermore, the hormones of stress can reduce magnesium levels in body tissues, which can result in chronic fatigue.Many hundreds of chronic fatigue syndrome patients were observed at a referral center, only to find that over half of the patients were deficient in magnesium [32].PassionflowerPassionflower (P. incarnata) has shown that it can potentially help relieve insomnia and anxiety by promoting GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) production in the brain. A trial had participants reporting an improvement in the quality of their sleep after drinking herbal tea with passionflower for seven days [33].Lemon BalmLemon balm can help to reduce anxiety and symptoms of stress which helps you to relax more easily [34].A double blind, randomized, placebo controlled study on 50 subjects with sleep complaints found that those who took a formula which included lemon balm, saw significant improvements on a modified Athens Insomnia Scale (mAIS) than those who took the placebo [35].ChamomileChamomiles' unique properties can benefit your sleep quality.It contains an antioxidant called apigenin which binds to certain receptors in the brain which may help to promote sleeping while combating insomnia [36].A study found people who ingested chamomile extract twice a day for 28 days reduced their night time awakening by ⅓ and fell asleep 15 minutes faster than those who took a placebo [37].Introducing Feel Younger® Sleep Aid Ultra with 10mg MelatoninWe 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 that can help you to get good quality sleep, and more of it.That’s why we’ve included the above ingredients in our Sleep Aid Ultra with Melatonin formula.We have mixed these with our unique proprietary blend that can help you sleep better and easier, and potentially give you a whole host of other benefits. Our proprietary blend is made up of:
L-Tryptophan - melatonin is produced by L-Tryptophan in the pineal gland (in the brain) as well as in the gut, the eyes and immune cells [38]
Goji (berry) - contain the highest concentration of melatonin than any other berry fruits [39]
Chamomile - can help improve sleep quality [40]
Lemon Balm - can help relieve restlessness and sleep disturbances [41]
Passion Flower - can help to calm your mind and improve quality of sleep [42]
L-Taurine - an amino acid that increases GABA and glycine to ease anxiety and calm the brain [43]
Hops - a study on drinking non-alcoholic beer (with hops) at dinnertime saw that the women who drank it showed an improvement in their sleep quality [44]
St John’s Wort - can help to regulate mood by increasing melatonin production [45]
GABA - has a natural calming effect on the brain [46]
Skullcap - contains a compound called Baicalin, which has been used in traditional medicine practices to help treat insomnia [47]. Can also help to improve mood and reduce anxiety [48]
L-Theanine - can help to promote relaxation and improve sleep [49]
Ashwagandha - can promote restful sleep and may help to reduce anxiety levels [50]
Inositol - can help to improve global sleep and subjective sleep quality, as well as sleep time during pregnancy [51]
5 HTP - the precursor to serotonin, which can be converted into melatonin. When mixed with GABA, potential effects on sleep promotion are enhanced [52]
By combining the ingredients listed further up this page, with our unique proprietary blend in 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® Sleep Aid Ultra with 10mg Melatonin?Take one capsule a day with a glass of water, 20 - 30 minutes before you want to go to bed.DO NOT EXCEED RECOMMENDED DOSAGE.Any Cautions?Do not take alongside other melatonin supplements or medications. Too much melatonin can cause nausea and dizziness.ALWAYS consult a healthcare professional before taking any new supplements.

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.
