One of the main factors in our deteriorating physical nature is the fact that levels of critical hormones and other vital chemicals in our bodies decline with each passing year.

Take CoQ10, for example. CoQ10 is an enzyme catalyst that is essential to creating energy within the cell. Unfortunately, as we age our ability to assimilate CoQ10 from foods like fish and eggs slows way down. We begin to feel the effects but can’t always identify the cause. In healthy individuals CoQ10 is heavily concentrated in the heart, kidneys, and liver, but all bodily systems depend on CoQ10 to thrive.

Medical experts on anti-aging are learning more and more how certain nutrients help to appreciably assist the body in maintaining unimpaired protein tissue, and this action has an enormous impact on health and wellness. When you think of protein in the body, usually the first thing that comes to mind is muscle. Remember, though, that muscle tissue is so much more than impressively bulging biceps or an attractively rounded gluteus maximus. The heart is a major muscle, as are many other organs in the body. The framework of the skin is made up of collagen, another protein structure, as is the cartilage in all our joints. Foremost among the nutrients beneficial to protein structures are the ABCs–Alpha lipoic acid, Benfotiamine (a fat soluble form of vitamin B-1), and Carnosine. To read in detail how these supplements work to keep us young, we recommend: The Perricone Prescription and The Perricone Promise available at local bookstores.

An anti-aging discussion is incomplete without mentioning two chief antioxidants, Vitamin C and Vitamin E. Vitamin C helps to keep us young in two outstanding ways. First, it is necessary for making collagen and elastin, which keeps skin firm, joints flexible, and blood vessels strong. Second, it is a key nutrient for maintaining a healthy immune system. The immune system is a complex and ever-vigilant infrastructure designed to safeguard us from the onslaught of free radicals that we’re exposed to every day of our lives. It’s on a perpetual search-and-destroy mission, seeking out proteins called antigens that don’t belong in our bodies. If and when that task is accomplished, the immune system sets out to build and strengthen the body. Without an immune system, the game of life would be over before it got started. As a versatile and powerful antioxidant, vitamin C plays a huge role in keeping weary immune warriors like T-cells, B-cells, NK-cells, macrophages, etc. in tip-top shape. 

The hormone testosterone largely regulates sexual desire, stamina and energy in the human body, and while we tend to associate testosterone with men, women also require it for sexual health and vitality. Dr. Bjodne Eskeland of the University of Trondheim in Norway discovered an extract from fertilized chicken eggs that safely stimulates production of testosterone in humans, and he named it Youth Tissue Extract or YTE. Essentially YTE is combination of amino acids and glycopeptides that has demonstrated a fourfold benefit to human health in clinical trials including an increase in sexual desire, a surge in energy, renewed stamina, and a boost in muscle strength for athletes. Youth Tissue Extract may also be of help to anyone seeking natural mood enhancement.
