Lactoferrin Helps Protect Against Viruses
Lactoferrin, a protein found in mother’s milk, shows antiviral activity in preclinical trials. It impedes viral binding to cell membranes, while activating immune defenses.
Immune-Boosting Effects of Melatonin
As melatonin levels diminish with age, immune function declines. Boosting melatonin levels can help rejuvenate immune function.
Boost Internal Antioxidant Defenses
Oxidative stress damages cells and accelerates certain aging processes. Two botanicals increase cellular levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD) to boost the body’s internal oxidant defense system.
Magnesium L-Threonate Regenerates Brain Structures
A patented, bioavailable form of magnesium, developed by scientists at MIT, increases synaptic plasticity and reduces brain aging by 9 years.
Topical Collagen Helps Restore Youthful Skin
A topical formula with a trio of peptides has been shown to synthesize all major collagen types to revitalize aging skin.
