The heart is the hardest working muscle in the body. Without a properly functioning heart, the body is deprived of the oxygen and nutrients it needs for optimal function. That’s why maintaining cardiovascular health is so important – it affects every part of our body! In honor of World Heart Day, we’re sharing 10 unexpected supplements crucial for heart health.
Glucosamine: The Basic Building Block Of Cartilage
Glucosamine is an amino sugar (a combination of an amino acid – glutamine, and a sugar – glucose) normally found in healthy cartilage. It is synthesized by many cells in our body but is concentrated in joint cartilage. Glucosamine functions as the basic building block of cartilage by first being a basic building block of glycosaminoglycans (GAG) which themselves make up very large structures known as proteoglycans. Without adequate glucosamine, proteoglycans synthesis by chondrocytes would shut down, and this in turn would cause the synthesis of cartilage to stop. Glucosamine makes up 50% of one of the most important GAGs, hyaluronic acid, which acts as a “glue” that holds cartilage matrix together. Hyaluronic acid is also a critical component of synovial fluid, which lubricates joints and keeps cartilage smooth and healthy.Read More
Food Derived Carotenoids Protect Against Lung Cancer
by SAB Director, John Miller
It is well known that carotenoids promote the body’s ability to defend against essentially all forms of cancer. You can find compelling evidence in the form of strong references that support that throughout peer-reviewed scientific/medical literature. A new study published by researchers from Montreal University in the journal Frontiers in Oncology reinforces that point by showing that combinations of dietary carotenoids derived from food provide a 25-35% protective factor against lung cancer.Read More
Flavonoids Fight Obesity & Inflammation
By: John Miller, Scientific Advisory Board Director
In the May 2017 issue of the journal Nutrition & Diabetes, a small but important study appeared in the “Short Communications” section. That study showed evidence that the amount of daily flavonoid intake was inversely associated with the risk of obesity as well as the inflammatory burden associated with obesity. That means when flavonoid intake is high the risk of obesity is lower and the inflammatory burden that obesity puts on the body is also reduced. Not an entirely new discovery, but an important affirmation of the power of flavonoid rich foods.Read More

New Scientific Evidence: Carotenoids Protect Brain Function (found in NeoLife Carotenoid Complex)
By: John Miller, Scientific Advisory Board Director
It has been known for many years that dietary carotenoids play diverse roles within our bodies as both fundamental nutrients in systems and processes as well as defenders of the cells and tissues that make up those systems. Much of that knowledge can be tied directly back to the many peer-reviewed scientific papers that showcased and substantiated the many benefits of NeoLife Carotenoid Complex.
Two particular carotenoids; lutein and zeaxanthin (both present in Carotenoid Complex) have been shown to protect delicate tissue in the center of the retina of the eye, the macula lutea, from the degenerative effects of the light that streams into our eyes every moment of our waking lives. Such knowledge is also proof that these carotenoids cross over the blood brain barrier to do that important job.Read More

1 Life-Changing Nutrition Mindset Tip
This mom of 6, shares how the NeoLife 3-Day Detox has not only transformed her body but how it also completely readjusts her mindset!
“I was a competitive swimmer growing up and in college and have always been in pretty good shape – “once an athlete – always an athlete”. You know that saying. Anyway, I have 6 adult children – pretty much all athletes. When I reached 50 years old, I began noticing my mid section all of a sudden was no longer fit. I am now 56. I have struggled over the last several years to get motivated to do anything – even enough to enter the Challenge…
“I absolutely LOVE the NeoLife 3-Day Detox! I know it’s safe and healthy for my body thanks to the amazing Scientific Advisory Board – and it definitely works! A nice incentive is watching the numbers on the scale go down. I lost 5 pounds! I have done it 3 times now and each time experience what I call a mindset readjustment; a motivation to eat healthy, get back in the gym and a thankfulness that I am able to do both of those things. It literally changes my whole perspective!”*

“Like most moms, I’ve had weight issues after having children. Two years after giving birth to my son, I lost 10 kgs. but that postpartum belly still wouldn’t go away! I thought it is was part of my trademark as being a mother.
One day, I stumbled across pictures of NeoLife mothers, who looked sexy and vibrant. This inspired me again to reach my health goals but like other moms, being consistent with my workouts and preparing healthy dishes was a struggle for me as a mom and nurse who works shift schedules. Plus, there were also times that I woke up feeling so tired. And a few months earlier, I started to feel pain in my lower back possibly due to the physical demand of my work. That is when I decided to really do something about it – and joined the 30-Day Be Your Best Challenge.Read More
