DID YOU KNOW that boswellia serrata, one of the active ingredients in our new natural NSAID supplement, showed significant efficacy for osteoarthritis symptom reduction?


According to a study of osteoarthritis subjects from The Journal of the American Nutrition Association, taking boswellia daily for six months improved the six-minute walk test and stair climb test. Post-trial MRI assessments of the tibiofemoral joints revealed that the cartilage volume, thickness, and joint space width were increased, and levels of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, matrix metalloproteinase-3, Fibulin-3, type II collagen degradation peptide in serum, and cross-linked C-terminal telopeptide of type II collagen in urine were significantly reduced.

DID YOU KNOW that flu, COVID, cold, and norovirus are making their winter rounds nationwide, otherwise known as "quad-demic"?


While an unofficial term for the four maladies circulating in tandem evokes a sense of impending doom, it is not so different from years past. There is a common denominator however, they are all viruses.


The best way to fight off viruses, which are with us all year now, is to prime your immune system. Where is the majority of your immune system? In and around your gastrointestinal tract. Optimizing it with the right raw materials (food and beverages) and targeted supplemental immune assistance is the most important thing you can do.


Staying hydrated is just as important in winter as other seasons. In addition, humidifying your home is one way to keep viral activity low while you sleep. Don't forget to get the blood flowing with movement and exercise!

DID YOU KNOW that a caffeine and L-theanine combination supplement is effective for focus, brain fog, and even attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)?


ADHD manifests through a combination of symptoms including inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. Many react to conventional stimulant medication because of genetic predisposition. For these individuals, the caffeine and L-theanine combination is a welcome option.


I've also seen this help those suffering from brain fog and/or lack of focus not related to ADHD.


L-theanine is a water-soluble amino acid found as a metabolite of the Camellia sinensis plant (which makes green tea). L-theanine is neuroprotective, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory. Specifically, L-theanine has been shown to support alpha-band activity, which is associated with focused attention. Caffeine exhibits improvement in attention, cognition, and inhibitory control. Ideal times to take it are in the morning and early afternoon.
