Greetings,

Hope you're well!! 

You've been activating your body now with Activated Collagen for 2.5 months. Such an incredible investment in your overall health!! Keep going... It's cumulative and getting more and more powerful every day you're consistent.  

You'll see a couple of attachments of Before and After pictures... those are always fun; and an image that shows that your Healthy Glow Stack increases your body's Blood Catalase by 202%. We see numbers like “increases catalase by 202%“… And we may think “oh sounds great”  

but do we really know what that means? I wanted to share a bit, because it's so important to understand how our True Science Activated Liquid Collagen is providing benefits far beyond great skin!

The Health Benefits of Catalase:

1. Powerful Antioxidant Support 

Catalases are perhaps the single most efficient enzymes found in the cells of the human body. Catalase has been shown to create a speedy reaction against hydrogen peroxide free radicals, turning them into water and oxygen. Studies show that when infections arise, the body produces more hydrogen peroxide to help fight pathogens and heal wounds. Once the hydrogen peroxide is no longer needed, catalase breaks it down into safe compounds.

2. Possible Anti-Aging and Anti-Degenerative Effects 

Catalase is currently being studied for its applications on extending lifespan and vitality. Research scientists from the University of Washington in Seattle and the University of California-Irvine conducted a lab study on rats, augmenting the natural catalase in their bodies. By supplementing with increased catalase, the lifespan of these laboratory rats increased by almost 20% this is the equivalent of nearly 25 human years.

3. Promotes Longevity 

Dr. David Sinclair of Harvard Medical School stated in The Scientist Magazine that there is a direct link between the catalase enzyme, free radical damage, and our lifespan. The studies Sinclair commented on showed that free radical damage itself led to aging, and preventing this damage with catalase enzyme may help ward off degenerative diseases. Similarly, studies conducted in Russia also show a correlation between catalase and other antioxidant enzymes and the prolongation of life.

4. Fat Reduction  

Very exciting research from China shows a link between catalase and lowered amounts of fat in lab rats. The study showed that when rats on a high-fat diet, catalase helped normalize their cardiac function. The high-fat diet caused autophagy, which is cell death, but the catalase ameliorated the effects.

5. Supports DNA Integrity 

A 2006 study from the Institute of Cytology and Genetics in Russia found that oxidative stress, accumulation of protein and DNA damage could be reduced in the presence of antioxidant enzymes, including catalase and glutathione in the cytosol and mitochondrial extracts from liver cells of rats. This study also found that dietary supplements for increasing the activity of catalase in the liver mitochondria in rats led to reduced mitochondrial dysfunction and slowed the process of aging in these animals.

Any perturbation in the balance in the level of antioxidants and the reactive species results in a physiological condition called “oxidative stress.” A catalase is one of the crucial antioxidant enzymes that mitigates oxidative stress to a considerable extent by destroying cellular hydrogen peroxide to produce water and oxygen. Deficiency or malfunction of catalase is postulated to be related to the pathogenesis of many age-associated degenerative diseases like diabetes mellitus, hypertension, anemia, vitiligo, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, bipolar disorder, cancer, and schizophrenia. 

I know that's quite a deep dive, but in a nut-shell, when you're living activated, your Protandim + Collagen Activation turns on your catalase factory and your body's factory is POWERFUL. Keep Going!! It's continuing to build! 

I'm excited for you and am always here to partner with you on your wellness journey.
