A study from The Journal of Nutrition found patients with inflammatory bowel disease who consumed higher intakes of quercetin had a lower risk of all-cause mortality.

Moreover, quercetin may operate synergistically to oversee the dextoxification of dead mitochondria, a very important function to keep energy levels throughout the body.

DID YOU KNOW that a phytochemical found in pomegranates and walnuts that we recommend all the time to clients supplementally improves memory and treatment of Alzheimer's disease?

The study in Alzheimer's & Dementia found that urolithin A supplementation removes weak mitochondria from the brain. The lead author states, "Many patients with neurodegenerative diseases experience mitochondrial dysfunction, also known as mitophagy. This means that the brain has difficulties removing weak mitochondria, which thus accumulate and affect brain function. If you are able to stimulate the mitophagy process, removing weak mitochondria, you will see some very positive results."

We've been saying for the last few years and for much more than Alzheimer's :) If you want suggestions for dosage, email Steve.

DID YOU KNOW that 1 in 4 parents say their teen consumes caffeine daily or nearly every day?

According to a poll from University of Michigan, parents may not always be aware of how much they should be limiting caffeine consumption for teens. Unfortunately, soda is teens' top caffeinated product of choice, followed by coffee and tea.

Teens' brains are still developing, and excessive caffeine consumption can affect their mood, sleep, and school performance, along with other side effects. They can also become dependent over time, as is true for other drugs.

The good news is that the most common place teens consume caffeine is at home followed by dining out, making it easier for parents to intervene and help their teens reduce their caffeine intake.

The American Academy of Pediatrics also discourages caffeine intake by children and adolescents, and other experts suggest a limit of 100 milligrams per day for teens.
