Sometimes we overlook the importance of energy in the body. We forget that if we are lacking energy, we are going to start having some missteps or misfirings occur. Many times, we don’t even recognize the true impact that low energy states can have on our overall health and wellness. Today, I want to talk about one particular type of energy in the body and why it’s important to maintain this, especially when we look at cardiovascular health, skeletal muscle health and fatigue.†
As we get older, our cellular energy levels begin to decline. We frequently talk about this in the setting of Coenzyme Q10 because even though it’s made in the body, age and certain medications can block the proper manufacturing of this important nutrient. This can cause you to feel more fatigued or tired, which is an indication that our cells are not functioning at their optimal performance.†

There is something in the body that plays a really critical role in maintaining and restoring energy levels and that is ribose. D-ribose has been shown to increase cellular energy production within the heart and skeletal muscles. If we do not have adequate D-ribose, then we’re going to have a hard time in terms of energy recovery, as well as muscle recovery.†
Ribose is something that is naturally-occurring within our system. It is an essential component to our cellular energy management. It also yields the ability to fend off oxidative stress because it plays a role as an antioxidant. In this role, it can help to ease inflammation.†
Supplementation with D-ribose is a very good choice for those who are dealing with cardiac issues. Ribose works in the production of ATP, as well as in helping to fend off oxidative stress within the heart itself. It is free radical damage that causes an inflammatory response within the heart. If we have adequate levels of ribose, then we know that the cells themselves are being protected from oxidative stress. Ribose can be found in our Ribose Complex, which is a great formulation.†
In this episode, Amanda Williams, MPH discusses the powerful nutrient ribose. She details how ribose helps support heart health and energy levels and explains how it also acts as an antioxidant.†

When we think about the aging process, we often think about getting wrinkles or our hair turning gray. This is why so many people have this new-found interest in collagen, but not all collagen is the same. Today, I want to talk about the different types of collagen and how we can maintain a youthful look to our skin, as well as joint health, using supplementation.†

Collagen plays a significant role in our existence. It is the most abundant protein in the body and is the main component of most of our connective tissues. As we get older, our natural stores of this nutrient begin to diminish, which can really be problematic as we hone in on those fine lines and wrinkles.†
Collagen itself makes up 70% of the weight of the skin’s inner layer. It provides flexibility, but as we get older and our levels of this nutrient begin to diminish, we begin to get sagging of the skin.†
There are over 20 different types of collagen found in the body. 99% of this collagen is made up of five different types: Type 1, Type 2, Type 3, Type 4 and Type 5.†
Type 1 accounts for over 90% of all collagen in the body. It is in our bones, ligaments and skin. Type 2 helps to support the cartilage and the structure within our eyes. This can be found in our Cartilage HxⓇ formulation. Type 3 is found in the liver, lungs and different arteries, Type 4 is found in our kidneys, and Type 5 is found in our hair, as well as our cell surfaces.†
Collagen gives different organs their strength, as well as their elastic properties. As we start to age, levels of this nutrient decrease, which can create issues with fine lines, wrinkles, fatigue, weakness, aches and pains. This can also impact bone health.†
By the time we’ve hit our middle ages, we’ve lost a good 50% of this nutrient and a majority of this is Type 1. When we’re taking a supplement to combat this, we should be taking a hydrolyzed version of this important protein, which is offered in our Collagen HxⓇ formulation. This allows for proper absorption and distribution throughout the body. It’s not just for the skin or hair, but also for the bones and the immune system.†
In this episode, Amanda Williams, MPH explains the important role collagen plays in the body. She details the differences between the various types of this nutrient and what they are each important for.†
