I oftentimes like to spotlight certain nutrients and products from our product line to really show you the science behind these different formulations. Today, I want to spotlight our L-Carnosine Plus HxⓇ formulation.†
Carnosine is a dipeptide that is made up of two amino acids, beta-alanine and L-histidine. We can find these amino acids in foods, as well as being naturally produced within the human body. One of the things that we know about this dipeptide is that certain cells that are needed for longevity contain high levels of carnosine. When we think about nerve cells or muscle cells, for example, carnosine is found in high levels within these cells.†

When we utilize this nutrient as a supplement, we’re helping to reestablish or restore the high energy demand for carnosine within those cells. If you think about the neurons in your brain, they require a lot of energy output. Your cardiac myocytes require a lot of energy output. We certainly understand that carnosine is playing a critical role in this.†
Throughout the aging process, our body produces less and less carnosine. That becomes problematic because we are more vulnerable to destruction at the cellular level. When we look at conditions such as diabetes, metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular disease, we can see the link where accelerated aging really starts to take off because we have excess glycation but not enough carnosine to fend it off. We need to be able to reestablish that level.†
Carnosine is considered to be an anti-aging amino acid, but it also has benefits for kidney health, vision health, cognition and more. The L-Carnosine Plus HxⓇ is a fabulous formulation and a great way to make sure that you are getting in the key amino acids that you really need as you get older. We know so much about these amino acids, so we understand that they play multiple different roles.†

In the L-Carnosine Plus HxⓇ formulation, you’re getting the amino acid L-carnosine, but it’s also partnered up with quercetin, which is kidney-friendly. It also has rutin and thiamin in it, which are powerful antioxidants. It’s a very comprehensive formulation that’s a very nice way to support the vascular system, nervous system and muscular system.†
In this episode, Amanda Williams, MPH explains the science behind our L-Carnosine Plus HxⓇ formulation. She explains how the nutrients in this supplement help to fight glycation and promote health throughout the aging process.†

One of the most well-known beverages in the world also comes with multiple health benefits and I’m certainly not talking about drinking soda. I am talking about drinking tea. We know that different teas have been widely consumed throughout the world and we’ve all heard about the many different health benefits that go along with consuming tea. Today I want to talk about green tea and the powerful polyphenols contained within and how that can be beneficial when we think about diabetes.†
I want to talk about a study that came out about a year ago in the British Medical Journal. The researchers were looking at the consumption of both green tea and black tea, as well as coffee. They found that the amount of tea that people were drinking had a direct association in overall lowered risk of all-cause mortality.†
GREEN TEA’S IMPACT ON LONGEVITY AND HEART HEALTH – INVITE HEALTH PODCAST, EPISODE 31. Listen Now>>
We know that people who have Type 2 diabetes are more prone to circulatory diseases, different cancers, fractures, kidney disease, dementia and other health issues. Despite the fact that there are all of these different medications out there that target blood glucose, we also know that there has to be some lifestyle modifications and we also have to look at the diet.†
In this study, they found that those who consumed high amounts of green tea, black tea and coffee did much better than those who were drinking sugary beverages like soft drinks and juices. The researchers tracked close to 5000 men and women who had Type 2 diabetes over the course of five years. The subjects filled out food intake questionnaires. Through doing this data pooling, the researchers were able to determine that those who consumed the highest amount of tea per day, about four cups, had a significantly lowered risk of all-cause mortality.†
One of the main problems in diabetes is the elevation of oxidative stress and heightened levels of inflammation. We know that green tea extract has been shown to have positive impacts on blood pressure, cholesterol, blood glucose levels, total antioxidant status and inflammation markers.†
All of these things are important because we know there are many complications that go along with diabetes. The management of diabetes is still inadequate. We have some really great green tea formulations that can help support the body. Our Green Tea HxⓇ is a capsule that combines both green tea and black tea and then we have our Green Tea TxⓇ, which is a great way to get a powerful amount of powerful catechins like EGCG into your daily routine.†
In this episode, Amanda Williams, MPH details various studies looking at the complex relationship between green tea consumption and diabetes. She discusses how green tea may help to fight inflammation and support insulin sensitivity and also provides information on green tea supplements.†
