Age-related wear impacts both heart and bone health, and when they are compromised, it is an implication of a vitamin deficiency: Vitamin K2. Protecting hearts and bones is an essential facet of aging healthily, but it's a foundation we must establish early. Simply adding a vitamin to one's daily routine has been clinically proven to do both.

Even more exciting: new research is linking this essential nutrient's mechanism of action to impacting other health areas beyond just bone and heart, including the brain, vision, general/respiratory, pain and inflammation, and more. This growing body of evidence strengthens the argument that Vitamin K2 could be one of the most crucial healthy aging nutrients on the market today.

Perimenopause (aka Around Menopause) is the time when the body naturally transitions to menopause. Women start perimenopause at different ages with most usually starting in their 40s.

Probiotic microorganisms have a long history of safe use and have been documented for various health benefits. Many strains of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) from the genera of Lactobacillus have been identified to possess probiotic properties. They have been much emphasized for their roles to regulate gut well-being. But recent evidence has illustrated the potential of LAB for brain health, ranging from neurodegenerative diseases to stress, memory and cognition.

In this webinar you’ll learn about Lactobacillus plantarum DR7, a probiotic isolated from cow milk isolate in Penang, Malaysia, which demonstrates the ability to improve stress and anxiety symptoms as well as memory improvement. In addition, DR7 effected a reversal of symptoms associated with Alzheimer’s Disease in a fruit fly model, accompanied by distinct changes of gut microbiota profiles.

The administration of DR7 for 12-weeks in stressed adults has contributed to improve stress and anxiety scores, in addition to memory and cognitive abilities, primarily via enhancement along the serotonin pathway and maintenance of the dopamine pathway.

Gut microbiota analyses of human subjects also showed correlations between changes in neurotransmitter genes and different taxonomic levels of gut microbiota along the serotonin and dopamine pathways. All these evidences involving various models, strongly indicated an effect of DR7 along the gut-brain-axis.
