Clinical studies have demonstrated that DHEA has a beneficial effect on immune response, sex drive, metabolism and emotional stability. Its effect on the immune system via distribution of stress hormones and its use as a powerful antioxidant demonstrate potent age-resisting capabilities. Other health related benefits include the support of cognitive function, helping the body to cope with stress, and protection against heart disease by metabolizing body fat.
THYROID
This metabolic hormone secreted by the thyroid gland regulates temperature, metabolism and cerebral function, which generate energy and warmth. Insufficient thyroid levels result in fatigue, increased cholesterol levels and increased risk of coronary artery disease. With age, thyroid hormone levels gradually decline resulting in a decreased metabolism, which affects all cells and organs. Low thyroid causes low energy, loss of motivation and thinning hair, skin and nails.
ESTROGEN & PROGESTERONE
As the first commonly replaced hormone, estrogen has experienced a bumpy ride over the last four decades. Conclusions of studies, like the Women’s Health Initiative, have left women scared and vulnerable after menopause. The WHI study only focused on the synthetic non-biologically identical hormones which can have negative effects on the female body. Bio identical estrogen mimics exactly what the body makes. It is essential for muscle tone, skin smoothness, hair texture and sex drive. It may also help deter osteoporosis, Alzheimer’s and heart disease. Bio Identical progesterone (exactly the molecule your body produces) should always be viewed as the life-long partner of estrogen. They balance each other out and work synergistically to promote optimal female health. Progesterone helps stimulate bone growth, healthy heart function and boosts mood and well-being.
TESTOSTERONE
Although testosterone is the primary male hormone, women also benefits from its supplementation. Levels of testosterone decline with age in men and women. At optimal levels, testosterone increases bone density and bone formation, enhances energy and sex drive, decreases body fat, increases muscle strength, lowers blood pressure and modulates cholesterol levels. Testosterone is an essential hormone that neither men nor women should be without as they age.
MELATONIN
Melatonin regulates the circadian rhythm as well as the deep stage of sleep. Studies suggest that the immune system is stimulated during these periods of deep rest. In the January, 1997 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine, melatonin was praised as a powerful antioxidant and a potential anti-cancer agent. In light of hundreds of studies showing that melatonin can scavenge free radicals, include youthful sleep patterns and possibly slow the aging process. Melatonin is a perfect addition to the anti-aging roster.
VITAMIN D3
The Sunshine Hormone is especially important for Albertans due to our lack of natural sun exposure. Vitamin D3 is required for regulating calcium and phosphorus metabolism which both influence the process of bone mineralization. Recent research is now suggesting the benefits of higher doses of Vitamin D3 to ward off many chronic and life- threatening diseases from osteoporosis and osteoarthritis to cancer of the breast, prostate, and colon; diabetes; multiple sclerosis; cystic fibrosis; Crohn’s disease; scleroderma; cardiovascular disease; and many others.
