When it comes to aging, people are always looking for ways to try to combat this. One of the first indications of aging tends to be changes in the skin and graying hair. Some people may start experiencing gray hair as early as in their 20s. No matter when the graying begins, this can drive up a lot of alarm for many people, sending them out to find something to cover up their grays. Today, I want to talk about a nutrient called catalase that can be very beneficial in your daily routine.
COLLAGEN LOSS MAY ACCELERATE AGING – INVITE HEALTH PODCAST, EPISODE 226. Listen Now>>
Catalase is a naturally-occurring, endogenous antioxidant. As we age, we begin to lose many of our endogenous antioxidants, so it is important to take measures to help support these levels. This is why taking catalase as a supplement can be very helpful.
When the body experiences oxidative stress, our endogenous antioxidants start to target that, but the levels of these antioxidants don’t bounce back. This is frequently the case with catalase. This antioxidant enzyme helps to fend off oxidative stress by destroying cellular hydrogen peroxide and converting it into water and oxygen.
The body naturally produces hydrogen peroxide and as hydrogen peroxide levels start to take over in the body, we see that end result in our hair. It is bleaching the hair, so your gray hair is coming from the excessive hydrogen peroxide. We know that catalase controls hydrogen peroxide in the body, so if we have a deficiency or a malfunction in catalase, then we know that this can lead to the pathogenesis of gray hair and other age-associated diseases.

Not eating enough fruits and vegetables? Our Organic Greens Plus HxⓇ offers a variety of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants to help fill gaps in your diet!
The term ‘healthy aging’ is meant literally to optimize the years of healthy living by protecting ourselves from damage and avoiding common concerns associated with aging. Luckily, ample research suggests that antioxidants can provide protective effects.

Phytonutrients are often disguised, healthy pigments that span the colors of the rainbow. Though these healthy pigments translate into nutrients, there are certain foods that contain far more nutrients than our everyday foods. We call these superfoods. They may pack more Vitamin C than lemons, or more carotenoids than carrots.
Despite research and more awareness, the average American still only consumes 1-2 servings of vegetables daily, which leaves them way behind the current dietary recommendations of 5-9 daily servings. One way to catch up with your servings of vegetables and fruits are with superfood blends.
Superfoods are nature-packed nuggets of antioxidants and detoxifiers. These super-packed fruits, vegetables, herbs and spices are found all around the world, but the good news is that you don’t have to travel to get them. InVite® Health has found a way to preserve these boluses of super nutrients through freeze-drying, which preserve freshness and nutrients without the sugars and carbohydrates. Gathering and cultivating these non-GMO superfoods is done with utmost scrutiny and inspection for purity and potency. We have created several unique superfood blends, each with a great taste and unique purpose, including support of the heart, brain, immunity, detox, circulation, vision, digestion, and energy. Because of their potency, InVite® Health superfoods are regarded as pharmaceutical-grade supplements.
Our newest vascular superfood is Beets Hx®. It contains no sugar and combines fermented non-GMO organic beet root powder and the skin of tart non-GMO cherries. Beets Hx® is substantially high in nitrates. These nitrates convert to nitric oxide, which dilates blood vessels, lowers blood pressure, and improves circulation, exercise endurance, and workout recovery. Beets Hx® also contains trimethylglycine, a very important step in methylation, detoxification and the breakdown of homocysteine, a marker of atherosclerosis.
