Ingredients

Fava (Broad bean)

A great source of natural HGH (human growth hormone). Fava beans have the highest amount of L-dopa of any plant. L-dopa, a brain neurotransmitter, helps control hypertension and Parkinson's disease and stimulates the pituitary gland to produce Human Growth Hormone (HGH) -the most powerful anti-aging substance known that keeps everything working smoothly in your body like when you were a teenager. HGH Improves athletic performance, strength, muscle mass. Fava beans help women with hormone issues, PMS, menopause. Since the pituitary gland controls the entire endocrine system, it also affects the thyroid, sex hormones, adrenals (energy), immune system. Contains vitamin B17, known as the cancer-beating vitamin. Protects against malaria. Very high in fiber and oligosaccharides. Favas have potassium which helps maintain blood pressure and regulate the heart. Lots of vitamin A for healthy skin, good vision and bone development. Helps lower LDL- bad cholesterol. A small handful has ten grams of protein. Low fat content helps bodybuilders stay lean while gaining muscle. Want natural growth hormones? Fava Beans!

Geranium

This common domestic flower is actually a wonderful sweetener. Geranium’s gentle flower energy helps regulate endocrine and hormone balance, sleep and mood.

Magnesium Malate

Magnesium helps you rest and relax, including your muscles, great for cramps. Next to oxygen, magnesium is the most important substance in the body. We need lots of it and almost everyone has dangerously low levels. It is as important for life as the air we breathe. If other healing methods aren’t working that should be working, it means you are low in magnesium. (Without it your body can’t be healthy. It’s that important.) Magnesium stops cell calcification and increases cell flexibility, dramatically increases lifespan, athletic performance and helps prevent heart attacks, cancer, diabetes or stroke, dilates blood vessels throughout the body, lowers blood pressure (a natural calcium channel blocker), increases cellular ATP production (adenosine triphosphate-natures universal energy store) using phosphates for glucose as energy, helps relieve cramps, helps reverse insulin resistance, Magnesium is a critical mineral for osteoporosis, skeletal structure and teeth, necessary for good nerve and muscle function, kidney health and restful sleep. Counteracts stress, irregular heartbeat, emotional instability and depression. Calms hyperactive children. Helps alcoholism, diabetes and asthma. Deficiency means muscle spasms, cramps, stomach upsets, sometimes fibromyalgia. Magnesium stimulates over 325 enzyme reactions and processes.

In hospitals when someone has a heart attack or stroke, the first thing they do is shoot them up with a form of magnesium. As a matter of fact, it’s hard to get heart attacks, cancer, diabetes or stroke if your magnesium levels are topped off. But almost everyone’s is too low. There just isn’t enough magnesium in our foods or soil anymore, even in organic foods. As we age, magnesium levels drop so aging sets in, so we have to supplement. The more we take regularly, the more problems go away. It has a lot to do with the blood/brain barrier too, so Parkinsons, neurosis, irritability, inability to sleep are all signs. It’s great for sports, helps get rid of muscle soreness fast.

Magnesium naturally increases DHEA levels, which is the true “get younger” hormone, the master hormone in the body which can be broken down into other hormones. As a person ages, the level of DHEA declines. There is no healthy way to supplement with synthetic hormones because all synthetic hormone therapies have a dangerous side. Magnesium has even been called the “female viagra”. If you feel like you are getting “old”, -getting more tired, slower, bone, muscle stiffness etc, you are getting really low in magnesium. Magnesium deficiency causes serotonin-deficiency resulting in depression, aggression, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorder depression, schizophrenia, nervousness, irritability, confusion, twitching, trembling, cramping, apprehension, insomnia, confusion, poor memory, poor attention, reduced ability to learn, rapid heartbeat, irregular heartbeat, stroke and heart attack. Where there is a lack of magnesium, there is also a higher potential for tooth decay, so as a means of controlling dental problems, magnesium is essential. Alcohol lowers magnesium levels. Magnesium also improves the pumping of the heart by increasing coronary blood flow. By displacing calcium in the arterial plaque magnesium softens the plaque making it easier for removal by the body. You need magnesium! Magnesium malate is the most absorbable form available.

Carnosine (Vegan)

Carnosine extends the life of every cell in your body. It’s a natural amino-acid with a number of interesting actions. It’s a potent anti-oxidant that helps flush toxins from the body, helps to prevent glycosylation - the cross-linking of proteins and DNA molecules caused by sugar aldehydes reacting with the amino acids on the protein molecule and creating Advance Glycosylation End-products (AGEs). By preventing the formation of dangerous AGEs, carnosine may help the body’s proteins retain their youthful vigor and function. Tests showed Carnosine extended the Hayflick limit (the maximum number of times a cell can divide) from 50 to up to an additional 10 times. It has also been shown that animals with higher levels of Carnosine appear to live longer. In sports, carnosine has the ability to help block the accumulation of lactic acid. Lactic acid is the substance that literally triggers the pain in muscles after periods of intensive exercise. Carnosine, when taken before and after exercise, can therefore reduce and often even eliminate this aching pain. Carnosine may have applications in the management of numerous conditions, including arthritis, stomach and duodenal ulcers, high blood pressure, adrenal cortical dysfunction, sleep apnea, chronic inflammation, cancer, heart disease, and Alzheimer’s disease. Carnosine is a safe, well-tolerated compound made by combining the amino acids beta-alanine and L-histidine.

Used for blood cleansing, asthma, pulmonary issues, rheumatism, cough, cystitis, skin problems such as psoriasis, eczema, itchiness, gout, rheumatoid arthritis and stomach aches.

TMG (tri-methyl-glycine)

Made from beet roots, TMG is great for helping nutrient absorption, energy production, hormone production, protecting DNA and rebuilding adrenals. It is one of the best methyl donors known. Almost every molecular bodily function requires methylation (there are over 4,000 methylation reactions in the body)- like switching genetic DNA back to where they should be, stomach acid formation, hormone and neurotransmitter production, energy, immunity, water balance, liver support, immune support, healing, helps to prevent heart disease by reducing inflammatory homocysteine, which leads to plaque formation. Most people are under-methylated, leading to less than optimal functioning of almost every bodily function and genetic problems. TMG helps get things back on track. It’s also great for the liver, which is the body’s primary regulator for cholesterol and creator of glycogen and energy. By helping bring stomach acid levels back to normal, TMG ultimately helps everything from increased nutrient absorption to adrenal rebuilding (more energy) and getting hormones back on track. This may prove to be a new breakthrough in optimal body function.
