Longevity Powerhouse Pack

SUPERGREEN Superfood Powder - Probiotic Gut Support The SUPERGREEN Powder utilises a specific blend of probiotic strains (Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifidobacterium bifidum, Bifidobacterium lactis, Bifidobacterium longum) that have been studied for their ability to diversify gut flora and strengthen the gut microbiome. Clinical studies have demonstrated the ability of a diverse gut microbiome in improving digestive function and motility, stress adaptation and anxiety, and even skin health — particularly in inflammatory skin conditions.

The proteolytic enzymes in SUPERGREEN Superfood Powder include bromelain and papain, which are naturally derived compounds from pineapple and papaya. These enzymes assist the body in breaking down proteins that are often hard to digest and which can cause gastrointestinal pain, discomfort, and inflammation. (Roxas M. (2008).

NAD+ BOOSTER: NRC + RESVERATROL

Effectively Enhances NAD+ Nicotinamide riboside is a natural compound that effectively enhances NAD+ biosynthesis and has health benefits. NR also offers an opportunity to boost NAD+ levels beyond what is achievable through conventional B vitamin metabolism. (Yoshino J, Baur JA, Imai SI. NAD+ Intermediates: The Biology and Therapeutic Potential of NMN and NR. Cell Metab. 2018;27(3):513-528. doi:10.1016/j.cmet.2017.11.002)

NRC + RESVERATROL - Antioxidant/Reduces Free Radicals Formed In The Body Resveratrol is a polyphenolic compound that exists in nature as cis-trans stereoisomers. Polygonum cuspidatum (Hu Zhang), the roots of which are used in Chinese and Japanese traditional medicine, is considered to be one of the richest sources of trans-resveratrol. In humans and laboratory research, resveratrol appears to reduce levels of oxidative compounds and protect against oxidation. Trans-resveratrol has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity. (Gregory, P J, et al; Natural Medicines, Therapeutic Research Centre, February 2021)

NRC + RESVERATROL - Antioxidation, Anti-inflammation And Anti-Ageing Effects Resveratrol possesses antioxidation, anti-inflammation, and anti-ageing effects. (Banez et al., 2020)

A number of foods and their isolated components have been reported as valuable immunomodulators. Research has shown the abilities of a plethora of phytochemicals to stimulate, suppress and modulate both the innate immune cells, such as macrophages, dendritic, natural killer cells and acquired immune cells, that is B and T lymphocytes. (Yahfoufi et al., 2018; Mileo et al., 2019)

The latter have the potential to prevent diseases in healthy individuals, as well as to alleviate symptoms in persons with compromised immune systems, mainly by regulating inflammatory responses and free radical scavenging activities.

HAIR + METABOLISM - Metabolism Metabolism refers to the process in which your body converts what you consume into energy. Metabolic rate is the speed at which it does this, measured by the amount of energy per unit of time that a person is able to process to keep their body functioning. Metabolism is often thought of as being interchangeable with the word digestion, but it is actually far more complex and widespread than that. Metabolism exists in every cell in the body, as each unique cell requires energy to do its job. Maintaining a good metabolic rate means each cell in the body is able to yield enough energy to carry out its role in the body – whether it’s a cell in skeletal muscle, the lungs, skin, gastrointestinal tract, etc. There are a number of factors that can slow your metabolic rate, they vary from stress and fad dieting to age, muscle mass, hormonal factors and more. Metabolic rate will also vary from person to person. When metabolism is slower, and/or you consume more calories than your body is able to convert to energy and use, the body is designed to store this excess energy in adipose tissue (fat cells). There are a number of nutritional minerals and vitamins that can support metabolism. Biotin is one of them, as it helps convert fats and carbohydrates (macronutrients from food) into energy. Beyond this, biotin is involved in energy–yielding metabolism and subsequent energy production. (European Food Safety Agency. EFSA Journal. Biotin health-related claims. 2009; 7(9):1209)

Riboflavin is predominantly found as an integral component of coenzymes, flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) and flavin mononucleotide (FMN). FAD is an important component of the respiratory chain, closely involved in energy generation. It assists with releasing energy from food and moreover helps convert carbohydrates into adenosine triphosphate (ATP) — the carrier of energy within cells. As a B Vitamin, riboflavin is also involved in other metabolic energy–producing processes, including the citric acid cycle, as well as contributing to iron transportation and metabolism within the body. (GlobinMed Monographs. Global Information Hub on Integrated Medicine. 2015) (Gregory, P J, et al; Natural Medicines, Therapeutic Research Center, 2015)

Iodine is a trace element that supports thyroid function and energy production. The main function of iodine is to synthesise thyroid hormones triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4). Thyroid hormones are involved in stimulating basal metabolic rate, as well as the production of body heat. Beyond this, thyroid hormones are also involved in cellular oxygen consumption/use used to produce ATP (which in turn supports metabolic rate).

HAIR + METABOLISM - Hair Health Zinc has been studied for its ability to contribute to the maintenance of normal and healthy hair. Similarly, biotin (Vitamin B7) also assists in hair maintenance, growth and strength through its contribution to hair follicle formation. Beyond this, biotin assists with the regrowth of lost hair. Riboflavin (Vitamin B2) supports hair health as its flavoproteins (the building blocks of riboflavin) are essential for the growth of healthy hair. As a whole, riboflavin is necessary for the normal development and repair of numerous body tissues, hair included. (EFSA Journal European Food Safety Agency. EFSA Journal Zinc related health claims. 2010;8(10): 1819) (European Food Safety Agency. EFSA Journal. Biotin health-related claims. 2009; 7(9):1209) (Braun L and Cohen M. Herbs and Natural Supplements An Evidence-Based Guide, 4th ed. Elsevier Mosby. 2015. pp. 1062-1070)
