Vitagen: The First and Only Full-Spectrum Cell-Renewal Formula

Natural ingredients address the root causes of aging

Your body is programmed to reproduce approximately 300 billion new cells every day from the day you are born until you die. How these 300 billion cells reproduce is the key to healthy aging and the key to how Vitagen works.

Vitagen works by going to the root causes of aging - the cell - and providing the body with natural ingredients that help it protect, repair and rebuild its cells in a much more efficient and youthful way.

Exceptional science is the key to unleashing the true power of nature’s finest nutrients. Vitagen has been many years in the making. Scientists have systematically harvested and screened thousands of natural compounds from some of the most biologically diverse areas of the planet. Its all natural ingredients have been shown to help protect DNA against free radical damage.

Some of the ingredients in Vitagen have been used in Chinese medicine for centuries, costing upwards of $1000 per 100 grams. Others have just recently been discovered and promise to have tremendous impact on preventative health care in general.

Healthy aging is directly connected to energy. But it’s important to distinguish between the caffeine buzz you get from your favorite coffee, and the energy that’s natural and vital to keeping your systems functioning at their best. The body needs super fuel – power to the brain, the cardiovascular system, the respiratory system, the muscular system, the sensory system, and the immune system – our LIFE systems. The human body doesn’t thrive without nutrients that drive this vital internal energy.

Benefit #1: ENERGY

Healthy aging is directly connected to energy. We’re not talking about getting a caffeine buzz from your favorite coffee shop. We’re talking about the internal energy that’s natural and vital to keeping your systems functioning at their best.

Key energy drivers in Vitagen include:

- Ornithine Alpha-Ketoglutarate, (Ornithine alpha-ketoglutarate (OKG) consists of ornithine molecules bonded to alpha-ketoglutarate molecules. Research shows that OKG assists with increased protein synthesis, decreased protein catabolism, enhanced insulin secretion and increased amino acid uptake.

- Pyridoxine P5P is a combination of pyridoxine hydrochloride and pyridoxal-5-phosphate (P-5-P, the coenzyme or "activated" form of B6). As P5P, vitamin B6 is extensively involved in the metabolism of amino acids, lipids and nucleic acids.* Supplementation with vitamin B6 as P5P can be helpful for those unable to produce it efficiently from pyridoxine in the liver. In the 1950's, researchers found deficiencies of B6 seemingly related to the use of colorings, preservatives and additives in our food, as well as increase use of prescription drugs. Excessive protein intake, alcohol or contraceptive use also indicates a greater need for B6. Vitamin B6 plays a crucial role in the multiplication of cells.

- Cordyceps Sinensis. Cordyceps powerful energy driver in Vitagen is a rare mushroom called Cordyceps Sinensis. - For more than 1500 years, Cordyceps has been a highly valued therapeutic substance in classic Chinese medicine. Widely used for rejuvenation and overall healthy aging, this rare mushroom is treasured as a source of stamina and endurance, immune support and healing. Cordyceps grows naturally on the Tibetan plateaus. It is often called ‘the athlete’s herb’, for improving aerobic capacity, reducing fatigue, and aiding in recovery from physical exertion.
Also called "Chinese caterpillar fungus,"

FOR EMPERORS ONLY
Cordyceps was once reserved exclusively for the Chinese Emperor. Cordyceps was eventually offered to the few who could afford it, the wealthiest families of the Dynasty. Nobles took it before going into battle and prior to challenging journeys. Now commonly cultivated, wild cordyceps is still very expensive, as much as one thousand dollars for 100 grams.


Benefit #2: Brain Power

Energy for the Brain – the role of nutrition in Brain Function
There’s been a great deal of recent scientific focus on energy for the brain. Experts are only now starting to understand the important role nutrition can play in keeping your mind sharp and active. There are ‘brain foods’ that help with memory and learning, as well as brain foods that seem to reduce stress.

Studies show that 40% of those reaching age 85 will suffer from significant brain degeneration or senility.

So what can you do about it? The good news is that much of the degeneration that was considered normal for centuries may now be considered treatable. Break-through research conducted by scientists from Tufts University has shattered old assumptions regarding the age-related decline in brain health. Did they do it with a high-tech treatment or a new drug? No. The agent they used to accomplish this feat was blueberries.

A study conducted by James Joseph, Ph.D., Chief of the Neuroscience Laboratory at Tufts University, showed that a diet rich in blueberry extract reversed some existing brain dysfunction in aging rats. There were dramatic improvements in balance, coordination, and short-term memory in the rodents receiving blueberry supplements. This particular USDA study was the first to actually demonstrate a reversal of brain degeneration. Earlier studies linked high-antioxidant fruits and vegetables to prevention of function loss, but not to correcting it.

“The anthocyanins which give blueberries their color may be very powerful and very influential in their health punch,” says Dr. Joseph. The rats that were fed blueberries showed about twice the balance and coordination capability over the rats that didn't receive supplements. Overall, tests showed a reversal of the usual age-related dysfunctions in motor behavior, balance and coordination. Source: Journal of Neuroscience, September 15, 1999

Supports mental focus

The brain constantly craves more ‘fuel’ to keep up with the demands of our bodies. “The brain requires a tremendous amount of energy to function optimally. Starve the brain, and systems begin to suffer. You feel drowsy in the afternoon. You have trouble concentrating.

You’re not firing on all cylinders. Without additional targeted nutritional support, brain function diminishes as you age.” According to the clinical studies conducted on ingredients in Vitagen, you get that additional support from three nutritional compounds that can have positive impact on brain function.

• Gingko Biloba • Rhodiola • Bacopa

Rhodiola
Manuscripts dating back to 760 AD show that Rhodiola was used in Tibetan medicine to support vital energy, help the body resist stress, strengthen the brain, and provide nourishment to preserve health. Today researchers are focused on Rhodiola’s potential as an aid for endurance, as a way to relieve tiredness and muscle weakness, and as a method to improve efficiency of physical and mental work.

Rhodiola and Stress
A highly uniform population of 19-21 year-old cadets participated in a study to determine the effects of Rhodiola on mental fatigue. All the cadets had similar baseline data for performance capability. Then they were tested under stressful conditions. Some had received Rhodiola. Others had not. There was a significant difference in the fatigue levels of cadets who took the Rhodiola extract.

Benefit #3: Reducing Stress

Is ‘stressed-out’ now part of your everyday vocabulary? Most everyone struggles to cope some of the time. Vitagen formula includes Rhodiola that seems to help people manage stress. Survey data shows that most people felt Vitagen made a difference in the way they handled pressures. Some say it helped roller coaster emotions. Others say it helped them feel happier and more optimistic.

Benefit #4: Improved Joint Comfort

Even with nutrients that promote energy and desire, millions are still sitting on the sidelines – inactive and feeling old before their time. The fourth benefit of Vitagen is serious aid for joints that just don’t work the way they used to. There's discomfort in those joints which often shows up in stiff, aching knees, shoulders, hips, ankles, elbows and back. With a clinically-tested natural complex of Barberry, Horsetail and Yellow dock Vitagen supports your body's ability to combat joint discomfort. It can reduce discomfort from stiff joints, promote joint flexibility, and support healthy connective tissue.

Benefit #5: A Bodyguard for Your Cells

It might be called the body’s most astounding paradox. Oxygen, part of the air we breathe – the agent which makes life possible – is also responsible for some of the most relentless damage we face as we age.
It’s called oxidation. Perhaps the most visible oxidation is getting a sun tan. Tanned skin is really billions of dead skin cells darkened by oxidation. Oxidation damages and destroys cells. It’s a simple fact. You can’t maintain a youthful state if your cells are being blown up everyday. Aside from tanned skin, oxygen is damaging your blood vessels, the neurons in your brain, your heart muscle, and your liver.

Enough of the downside. Scientists have an arsenal of information about how to counterattack oxidation. The solution has a totally logical name: antioxidants, natural substances found in fruits and vegetables.

The Mayo Clinic advises that eating a diet rich in fruits and vegetables not only protects and nourishes the brain, but may protect against disease. “These foods may reduce your risk of cancer, high blood pressure, coronary artery disease, diabetes, and osteoporosis.”

The average person eats about three servings of fruits and vegetables per day. Most nutritional scientists recommend at least nine to achieve adequate antioxidant power.
To help improve our chances and build our arsenal for cell protection, food scientists have created extracts from the most nutrient-dense fruits and vegetables.

What’s now understood by scientists is that some of the benefits in fruits are related to the pigment. Anthocyanins found in blueberries, grapes and tart dark cherries are among the most potent healthy aging antioxidants in commonly eaten foods

Vitagen provides one more critical benefit and that is cell protection. You've heard about the nutrients in Vitagen that help us generate healthy cells, but we also need nutrients that protect the ones we have. The base of Vitagen is a potent blend of fruit concentrates - blueberry, cranberry, black cherry, grape. Berries are rich in antioxidants -they are almost like bodyguards for our cells. Antioxidants are the body's armor against toxins known as free radicals. The cells in your body suffer billions of free radical hits a day, membranes ripped, DNA corrupted, and that spells damage.

RESEARCH

Genomics

The technology that supports the development of Vitagen is impressive. Genomics aided the development of compounds in Vitagen. This advanced technology is the window for continuous improvement, resulting in an ongoing supply of breakthrough products. Ingredients in Vitagen, have been tested in clinical research studies and laboratory studies to ensure their effectiveness, purity and safety. Below is a brief summary of this research.

Clinical study shows positive impact on memory and cognition

In a human clinical trial with different subjects, individuals taking Vitagen.  capsules experienced marked improvement in executive cognitive skills: attention, focus, processing skills, working memory speed, and ability to respond to demanding or complex situations. Continuous improvement over the four-week period is remarkable because such skills tend to decline with advancing age. Vitagen. provides primary ingredients (minus Panax and Siberian ginseng), and offers an important additional ingredient (cordyceps sinensis) to support energy and immunity.

Problem
