Berkeley Life is dedicated to supporting healthy nitric oxide levels. Nitric oxide is a vital molecule made naturally in the body, responsible for vasodilation and circulation. As we age we produce less, resulting in diminished blood flow. Berkeley Life supplements provide a dietary nitrate that the body converts into nitric oxide. This helps to maintain healthy circulation, delivering nutrients where they need to go. Nitric oxide also has topical impacts. Berkeley Life's new topical nitric oxide serum combines vitamin C and nitrite to create nitric oxide gas directly on the skin delivering oxygen and nutrients.

DrinkHRW: To get the most out of any therapy, it’s crucial to address the foundations of health. Molecular Hydrogen addresses these foundations through its ability to help to manage reactive oxygen species (ROS), inflammation and improve metabolic balance. I drink molecular hydrogen water every morning before anything else and have my clients do the same. Anecdotally, we have seen improvements in blood sugar control, pain from arthritis and even cognitive function in Parkinson’s patients. Ongoing research is demonstrating the many ways that molecular hydrogen can support human health. They also have a new hydrogen tablet that has a special ingredient called ImmunoLP20. ImmunoLP20 supports the body’s immune system, respiratory health, liver health, well-being when under stress, works as a probiotic for dental health, and more!

Young Goose: Products are designed to "biohack" the skin and lower the skin’s functional age by raising NAD+ levels and using cutting-edge peptides and longevity molecules. Their line of products is designed to rewind cells to their youthful state and visibly improve the appearance of fine lines, hyperpigmentation, and improve skin radiance. I absolutely love and swear by their products. I’ve been using YG for a little over a year now and I can say these products are the best skincare I have ever experienced. If I had to choose my top 3 products, it would be their Bio-Retinol, NAD boosting EyeCARE and the Hyperbaric Mask.
