Listen in as Jim Roufs, MS, RD examines a clinical publication measuring the effects Pomella® has on reducing AGEs (advanced glycation end-products) in this interesting webinar.

Jim notes his excitement about the results showing reduced AGE formation at a feasible dose amount, “we’ve read somewhere between 12,000-15,000 clinical research studies, I still think this is the most remarkable finding with a dietary supplement that I have ever seen.”

When skin is exposed to oxidative stress, the effectiveness of the endogenic antioxidant system can be significantly compromised. Pomegranate, a natural advanced glycation end product (AGEs) inhibitor shows great potential for anti-glycation, a major contributor to slowing the progression of skin damage.

According to data obtained from the World Health Organization, cardiovascular diseases accounted for 31% of all causes of death in 2016, and they are considered as the leading cause of mortality worldwide. As oxidative stress and inflammation are interrelated and contribute to the initial events of cardiovascular diseases, antioxidants that modulate redox balance, such as astaxanthin, may be considered as important regulators of inflammatory responses and have become the focus of research to evaluate whether and how they prevent these diseases. This has been confirmed by a new interesting study recently published.

Winter is a critical season for the skin. With its cold temperatures, low humidity and wind, these together affect the skin, leaving it dry and chapped, which unfortunately does not help skin aging. For example the epidermis thins, cell renewal slows down, and collagen is lost or damaged.

Naticol® is a high-quality source of natural fish collagen peptides, clinically researched for skin support. One clinical study using 5g of Naticol® ingested on a daily basis, for 8 weeks, demonstrated that, regular intake of Naticol® fish collagen peptides improved skin firmness while also indicating preventive effects of Naticol® on skin dehydration, due to cold weather conditions¹. Skin benefits were also achieved with a lower dose, in another study using 2.5g of Naticol® per day².

Liver toxicity (hepatotoxicity) is one of the major concerns surrounding long-term, high-dose CBD supplementation, according to safety data gathered to date. This is especially true when taking prescription CBD products, which tend to have very high doses.

However, a study recently published in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences concluded that OptiMSM® had a high safety profile in an animal model when combined with a potent CBD extract during a short period of time. Since CBD is still new to the marketplace, its interactions with other drugs and ingredients are not well researched, which motivated the study.
