Skin (Head To Toe Targeting)

Benefits: 23g of protein per serving Collagen from pasture-raised cows Supports bones, joints, skin and hair† Description: 1 – 17.6oz canister of Chocolate Collagen Protein Bulletproof™ Chocolate Collagen Protein makes it easy to get the same vital amino acids found in bone broth without the time-consuming preparation. Why Add Extra Collagen to Your Diet? Traditionally, collagen used to make its way into peoples’ diets through foods like bone broths, slow-cooked organ meats, kidney pies, baked beef hearts, whole crustaceans, and whole-fish soups and stews… However, unless a person is routinely eating these types of meals, chances are the body is barely getting any naturally occurring collagen protein at all. Bulletproof™ Chocolate Collagen Protein is naturally sweet and great in smoothies, yet so tasty you’ll also love it mixed with water. Looking for inspiration in the kitchen? Try blending Vanilla Collagen Protein into Bulletproof® Coffee for a delicious vanilla collagen latte. Plus, it’s made with Bulletproof XCT® oil, so it’s also a satisfying way to add high-energy fats to your diet. While collagen can help the body build or maintain muscle and aid recovery post-workout, you don’t have to pump iron to experience the benefits. In fact, most people enjoy collagen for its other perks including… Promoting resilient, flexible joints Supporting hair growth Reducing wrinkles and stretch marks Upgrading skin with a radiant, healthy ‘glow’ Stir up a glass before the gym, after the gym, instead of the gym – hey, it’s up to you. What is Collagen? Collagen is the largest and most abundant protein in the body, making up about 30 to 35% of the total protein. Collagen is in every tissue of the body and is the connective tissue in structures such as skin, hair, nails, bones, lungs, heart and liver. It is often referred to as the glue that holds the body together. Collagen contains glycine, proline, and hydroxyproline, the three amino acids the body uses to manufacture its own collagen. What does collagen do, exactly? 1) Smoother, more hydrated skin Skin and connective tissue contain special cells called fibroblasts that manufacture collagen. They can crank it out as long as they have plenty of glycine, proline, and hydroxyproline. The best way to get those amino acids is hydrolyzed collagen, which has been broken down so it’s more bioavailable. Hydrolyzed collagen: Improves skin elasticity. Decreases skin cracking. Helps smooth out wrinkles. Increases fibroblast density, a marker of healthy, elastic skin. Increases skin moisture. 2) Stronger joints Collagen can also strengthen joints, increasing their resilience. Several studies have found that taking hydrolyzed collagen decreases joint pain after exercise and makes joints more flexible. Collagen is also a great hack for endurance athletes, particularly if the preferred exercise is tough on joints. Long-distance running is the worst offender. Most sports take their toll, as can heavy lifting. 3) Faster recovery Collagen is the main protein the body recruits to help build everything from the connective tissue in skin to the tendons that attach muscles to bone. It works well for several reasons: Collagen forms a flexible matrix, covering new tissue while still allowing it to move. It acts as a sort of scaffold that holds everything together so other cells can rebuild. It helps keep tissue clean. It can assimilate with surrounding tissue, helping to bring pieces of tissue together. The body’s collagen needs go up when injured. If recovering from something, try taking 10g of collagen or Collagelatin™ 2-3 times per day. What are the Differences Between Collagen, Whey & Collagelatin? One of the biggest differences between collagen and whey is in the amino acids. Collagen is higher in glycine – an amino acid that combines with glutamine and cysteine (found in whey and other protein sources) to support the production of glutathione, the body’s master antioxidant. Although collagen has an incomplete amino acid profile, the amino acids it does provide fill in the gaps commonly seen in dietary protein and protein supplements. And because Bulletproof™ Collagen is enzymatically hydrolyzed (breaking the bonds that form gelatin), Bulletproof Collagen protein does not thicken upon cooling like regular gelatin. Ingredients: Hydrolyzed collagen powder, Bulletproof™ XCT® oil powder (caprylic and capric acid triglycerides from highly refined coconut and/or palm kernel oil, tapioca dextrin), raw cacao powder, coconut creamer powder (nonfat dry coconut milk, non-GMO maltodextrin, coconut oil, gum acacia, less than 2% sunflower lecithin, tri-calcium phosphate), erythritol, organic cocoa powder, cellulose gum, Rebaudioside A (refined stevia leaf extract). Bulletproof™ Collagen Protein is made of predominantly Type I and a small amount of Type III bovine collagen that comes from pasture-raised, hormone-free cows. And unlike cheaper collagen that can end up damaged by heat, Bulletproof Collagen is enzymatically processed several times, to leave its nutrition-giving peptides intact. That makes it highly bioavailable for maximum nutritional potency. Bulletproof Chocolate Collagen Milkshake Makes 1 serving Ingredients: 2 scoops Bulletproof Chocolate Collagen Protein 1 cup frozen steamed cauliflower (steaming before freezing eases digestion) 1 heaping tbsp. cashew butter ½ tsp. vanilla A few dashes of Ceylon cinnamon 1-1 ½ cups non-dairy milk of choice (coconut, almond, or cashew are all good options) Tip: for a thicker shake, add just enough milk to get your blender going 1 tsp. – 1 tbsp. Brain Octane oil Directions: Place all ingredients in a blender and blend until creamy. Enjoy!

The Essential Builder and Healer Benefits: Speeds Up Recovery Easy to Mix With Food Repairs Soft Tissue Product Description: 1 bag of Upgraded Collagen Protein (1 lb) Upgraded Collagen is the gold standard for achieving the fastest possible healthy tissue repair, muscle matrix, bone renewal and recovery after exercise! It can boost mental clarity, reduce inflammation, upgrade your skin, and it mixes easily with other foods and shakes thanks to its neutral taste. Benefits of Upgraded Collagen: Fast Tissue Repair - Upgraded Collagen provides the particular proteins that ensure cohesion, elasticity and regeneration of skin, cartilage and bone. Greater Flexibility and Mobility - Upgraded Collagen makes the main building blocks of connective tissue more bioavailable and better absorbed into joints for greater flexibility and mobility. Stronger Bones and Joints - Upgraded Collagen supports strong, heavier, denser bones and is an excellent source of proline and glycine, two building blocks of cartilage that are essential for refueling after exercise and sports. Revitalized Skin - Upgraded Collagen promotes skin hydration, reduces the number of fine lines, prevents deeper wrinkles, and maintains the suppleness of your skin from the inside-out. Weight Loss - Upgraded Collagen (97% pure protein) helps with weight loss by delivering quick satiation of hunger. Build Muscle - Upgraded Collagen supports muscle building by facilitating the synthesis of creatine in the body. Reduce Aging - Upgraded Collagen replaces the necessary proteins that diminish and breakdown from aging. Deeper Sleep - Upgraded Collagen taken at bedtime deepens sleep, provides arginine to stimulate growth hormone release, and provides nutrients necessary to perform tissue repair while sleeping. Brain Function - Upgraded Collagen provides glycine, a neurotransmitter involved in motor and sensory pathways as well as ATP synthesis. Upgraded Collagen is High Quality and Pure Our Upgraded Collagen is sourced from the purest pasture-raised cows. These cattle are untouched by drugs or hormones and are not just "grass-fed" (which can mean grass-fed, but grain finished, or only fed grass sometimes) but actually spend their entire lives in the pasture. Unlike gelatin, which is damaged by heat processing, Upgraded Collagen is enzymatically processed several times to leave its peptides intact, resulting in a neutral tasting, highly available protein that doesn’t clump up or have a strong taste like gelatin. It is far easier to use and contains more collagen than bone broth. Upgraded Collagen does not contain any dairy, egg, sugar, corn, yeast, wheat, soy, gluten, artificial flavors, or preservatives. Our collagen source has been used safely for many years, and is certified by the FDA as GRAS (generally recognized as safe). Upgraded Collagen supplies essential proteins that our bodies use to build and repair our bones, joint surfaces, skin, teeth, eyes, arteries, intervertebral disks, and much more. Collagen is one of the most important nutrients needed to maintain a strong body, keep you in healing mode, and counter-act the degenerative effects of aging. Unfortunately, in this day and age, the average person has hardly any collagen in their diet! Collagen traditionally made its way into our diets through bone-broths, slow-cooked organ meats, kidney pie, baked beef heart, whole crustaceans, and whole fish soups and stews. But now, few people prepare foods with this source of meats, so we developed Upgraded Collagen to give ourselves the simplest and best source of these essential nutrients. Upgraded Collagen is a dietary supplement that can be added to any liquid drink, or paleo meal you already make, without needing to cook time-consuming broths, stews, soups, and organ meats. Recommended Usage: use 1 tbls in 1/2 a cup or more of water or in your favorite beverage. These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.

The classic organic silica of Dr. Loïc le Ribault Silicium G7 Original, now improved and renamed Silicium G7 Dynamised. It has been the product most appreciated by consumers for 25 years, thanks to its excellent results. With maximum assimilation according to comparative scientific trials, it delivers silica in a AVAILABLE form. Instructions for use Take 15 ml twice a day, 15 minutes before meals and medication. No contraindications or side effects. Ingredients Purified water, monomethylsilanetriol, potassium phosphate. Provides 5 mg of elemental silicon for 30 ml equivalent to 17,5 mg of maximum absorption Monomethylsilanotriol. Tips: Store in a cool, dry place. Supplements should not be used as a substitute for a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle. Do not exceed the expressly recommended daily dose. Presentation 1000 ml bottle. Without preservatives. With dosage cup. Benefits of Original Silicium G7 It improves the appearance of the skin with an anti-aging effect Regenerates the hair, helps it grow and keep it healthy. Provides joint comfort. Repairs weak and brittle nails. Its new formula consists of an innovative high-pressure system to improve the digestion of silica by the body's cells, which increases the speed of assimilation and accelerates the results, as proven by scientific studies. Original formula by Dr. Loïc le Ribault Silicium G5 Original is Dr. Loïc Le Ribault’s organic silica. With maximum assimilation according to comparative scientific trials, it delivers silica in a monomeric form, which means that it is possible to maintain the molecule, very unstable in itself, active and without degradation, which multiplies its efficacy. In 1994 Le Ribault managed to stabilize organic silica, applied until then only with topical pads, making its oral intake possible. Its depurative and regenerative properties have been confirmed in recent trials, with a decrease in heavy metals and improvement in the skin as a result (Anderson 2017). As early as 1993 the scientist Forrest H. Nielsen stated in his publication: “Silica is a beneficial element for bones, brain, and blood vessels”. He mentions organic silica and confirms its qualities. Several ensuing scientific publications have confirmed these trials. Dynamisation of organic silica Dynamized product using a new high-pressure method. The product is introduced into a hyperbaric chamber and a pressure of 6000 atmospheres is applied for a few minutes. This process improves the fixation of the silica molecule with water, thus facilitating its greater solubility and therefore its assimilation capacity and passage through the cells, obtaining faster results. Besides, the quality of organic silica as a carrier of other molecules within cells is improved. Hair Helps men and women to strengthen hair, providing greater shine, strength and resistance. Skin Silica nourishes, regenerates and increases the consistency of collagen in the skin. Collagen is an essential element for skin elasticity and silica helps to have a good level of collagen. Nails Silica improves nail hydration by delivering nutrients to the nails, helping not only to impart strength to the nails, but also to feed the nail bed with all the vital nutrients to promote healthy and strong nails. Joints, bones, ligaments, cartilage and tendons Silica helps keep joints, bones, cartilage, ligaments and tendons healthy. These tissues are composed primarily of collagen, which is known as the main protein of connective tissue. Factors such as nutrition, stress or aging lead to collagen deterioration which in body mechanics manifests itself in limited mobility, cartilage loss, tendonitis and osteoporosis. Silica promotes additional calcium deposition in the bones and aids in mineralization processes. Healthy, well nourished collagen is flexible, strong and rich in silica. Detox Effect Silica helps the body eliminate toxins, cleanse the liver, improve the digestive system and can eliminate heavy metals accumulated in the body, essentially aluminum. In the scientific field there are many research groups that have evaluated the neurotoxic effects of Aluminum and more than 25 studies have been published in different parts of the world demonstrating that Silica is the only element that can eliminate aluminum from the body. Anti-aging action Silica nourishes, stimulates and regenerates collagen in the skin. Our skin is rich in collagen content and silica maintains high levels. Why choose Silicium Organic Silicon? Silica is essentially in a non-soluble form in nature and is poorly bioavailable. Naturally occurring silica is extremely unstable and tends to degrade rapidly, leading to poor absorption. The apparent paradox, being an abundant and widely available element in natural forms, is that it is essentially unusable by human organisms because there is a chemical barrier that prevents it from being used as a nutrient. Silicium Laboratories, using research by scientists such as Dr. Loïc Le Ribault, has developed a model of stable and highly absorbable dietary silica.

Some customers may require less than 3 capsules daily while others may require more capsules daily. Once the daily dosage is determined if treating a specific condition, it is easy to count out the capsules. Omega-3 PGFO capsules are odourless with no flavour versus Omega-3 Liquid Gold where taste can be subjective. The fish oil is protected by a gelatin capsule giving an added layer of protection against oxidation. Omega-3 PGFO capsules have an airtight container which has been inductively sealed with silver foil. The convenient twist top lid has also been sealed for added security and protection. The bottle is white in colour to ensure lack of exposure to light. A-M B-Well Inc. is one of the very few companies that have been selling the natural TG form of Pharmaceutical Grade Fish Oil since 2001. That is the reason we consider our company to be the "Pioneers of Pharmaceutical Grade Fish Oil" because of our many years in this business. Disadvantages of Omega-3 PGFO Capsules Elderly people and children may have trouble swallowing a 1 gram capsule. Some customers requiring large dosages of Omega-3 fish oil may have trouble swallowing all the capsules required to treat a specific disease. A-M B-Well™ Omega-3 PGFO Pills A-M B-Well™ Omega-3 PGFO pills have a Natural Product Number ("NPN) 80002607 issued by the Natural Health Products Directorate ("NHPD") of Canada. A-M B-Well™ Omega-3 PGFO fish oil pills have a highly concentrated fish oil derived from ultra refined, molecularly distilled fish oil. Each bottle contains 90 capsules. Each 1,000 mg. capsule contains a minimum of *400 mg. of EPA and *200 mg. of DHA (both as triglyceride, TG), for a minimum summed total of 600 mg. of Omega-3s per capsule. The remaining 400 mg. is made up of glycerin, purified water, and 10 I.U.s of Vitamin E for oxidative stability. Our Pharmaceutical Grade Fish Oil has been purified using advanced molecular distillation to make it virtually contamination free of PCB's, mercury, dioxins, furans and heavy metals often present in related products containing Omega-3 fatty acids. What is Pharmaceutical Grade Fish Oil and what are its benefits? A-M B-Well™ Omega-3 PGFO is a highly concentrated triglyceride base fish oil that uses only the finest quality raw materials of cold-water fish oils caught off the coast of Peru. The base oil is 95% anchovy, 2.5% sardine and 2.5% mackerel. Pharmaceutical Grade Fish oil contains high amounts of omega-3 fatty acids called EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoid acid). These fatty acids cannot be made in the body and must be obtained from our diet. There are three types of fish oil: Cod liver oil Health grade fish oil (commonly referred to as 18:12 containing 180 EPA and 120 DHA or 300 mg. Omega 3s per 1 gram capsule) Pharmaceutical grade fish oil (“PGFO”) containing a minimum summed total of 600 mg. Omega 3 per 1 gram capsule) * The 400 mg of EPA and 200 mg of DHA is often expressed as a 40:20TG EPA/DHA product in parts per 100. Remember that it usually takes 100 gallons of health grade fish oil to make 1 gallon of pharmaceutical grade fish oil. What is the Recommended Dosage? Condition 1,000 mg. Capsules *1 Cardio protection 2 capsules *2 Anti-inflammatory 5 capsules *3 Neurological disorders 8 capsules Pregnant or lactating women or anyone with a medical condition should inform their physician that they are taking this product. *1 AHA recommended *2 FDA has stated that up to 3 grams of Omega 3-s is safe for human consumption *3 Stoll AL, Severus WE, Freeman MP, Rueter S, Zboyan HA, Diamond E, Cress KK, Marangell LB. Brigham and Women's Hospital, Department of Psychiatry, Harvard Medical School, Boston, Mass, USA. Arch Gen Psychiatry 1999 May; 56(5):407-12 Clinical Benefits of an Omega 3 Diet The best diet is one that is rich in fish, preferably small in size, at the bottom of the food chain. This will help prevent contamination from mercury, PCB's and other toxins in medium to large fish. The minimum daily requirement of Omega-3s as recommended by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations ("FAO") is 1.5% of daily caloric needs. For example, if you consume 1,800 kcal per day of food, you should ingest at least 3 grams of Omega-3s. This amount is hard to reach because foods rich in these fats are not very attractive, and not everyone wants or can eat fish every day. If you cannot reach the recommended daily amount of Omega-3s from food, it then becomes crucial to choose an Omega-3 supplement. According to clinical studies, the fatty acids EPA and DHA provide numerous health benefits. EPA may help to prevent or alleviate diseases resulting from chronic inflammation that lead to heart disease, stroke, arthritis and obesity. DHA is important for the brain, eyes and also the heart and is very important in an infant and child’s development.
