What is Collagen?

Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body. Did you know you have 28 types of collagen in your body? Collagen is a key component of connective tissues that make up tendons, ligaments, skin, muscles, and more.

Collagen gives your skin its elasticity and firmness, and it also supports lean muscle and connective tissues. Connective tissues give your body structure and strength. The ligaments in your knee, for example, are composed of collagen. They allow your knee to flex, bend, and absorb shock.

While collagen is something humans and animals produce naturally, the natural production of it drops with age, starting from age 25. As you age (or simply because of an active lifestyle), repeated stresses are put on your joints, muscles, tendons, and other connective tissues. Even the ever-present force of gravity is constantly taking its toll on your collagen-containing tissues.

What are NAD+ and NADH?

NADH and NAD+ are crucial for mitochondrial maintenance, especially related to metabolic function.

They convert food into energy and offer protection to cellular energy factories. While your body produces NAD+ and NADH naturally, production begins dropping dramatically around middle age and continues doing so until death. By age 50 half of you NAD+ is gone.

Without sufficient NAD+ levels in the body, your cells can’t generate the energy needed to survive and carry out their functions. The faster your NAD+ declines, the closer you are to death.

New research and studies are helping us better understand how we can supplement and support production of NAD+ in the body, regardless of age. Preclinical studies suggest supplementing with NMN may increase NAD+, leading to more youthful functioning of cells and body systems. *

Why is dōTERRA’s new Advantage Collagen the best?

MetaPWR Advantage combines the power of marine collagen, NMN, and 10 other synergistic ingredients to target cellular integrity and health-span. It’s a powerhouse!

This product can replace vital collagen your tissues need and support natural production of NAD+ in y body, helping you slow the signs of aging inside and ^ out. The 12 synergistic ingredients in MetaPWR Advantage give your cells what they need to support cellular integrity.

The result is slower biological aging; firmer, more elastic skin; improved cognitive function; more lean muscle and connective tissue, and more! MetaPWR Advantage is a game-changing powdered supplement you can mix with water in a shaker bottle. Use it daily to slow signs of biological aging and extend your health-span, regardless of your current age.* Nothing out there even compares to it.

MetaPWR Advantage is 12 times more absorbable (or bioavailable) than other collagen products.

When supplementing with collagen, bioavailability is important to consider. When a supplement or nutrient is easily absorbed and used by your body, it’s considered bioavailable. The number of grams you read on the label isn’t what determines how much collagen your cells will receive after taking it.

Bioavailability factors in.

That means if you were to give someone a regular collagen bottle you might find on Amazon and compare the milligram levels, you’ll absorb approximately 12 times more into your cells with MetaPWR Advantage than the product from Amazon.

Second, most collagen-replacing products only feature one or two collagen tri-peptide types. MetaPWR Advantage contains nine unique collagen types. Most collagen products feature the one or two collagen types most relevant to skin beauty, elasticity, and wrinkles. MetaPWR Advantage features those types of collagen, but it also includes seven other unique collagen peptide types.

Remember, collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body, and there are 28 known types. Supplementing with a wide range of diverse collagen types helps promote joint mobility, tissue strength, and skin elasticity. So you get all the beauty benefit: and can recover faster from workouts, gain an edge with flexibility in your joints, and move with more ease, no matter your age!

dōTERRA MetaPWR is activated by YOU!

MetaPWR Advantage is a hydrolyzed powder format, activated by you when you mix with water before consuming. Most prepackaged liquid collagens use a process to sterilize their water-based delivery system.Doing so eliminates the harmful bacteria and beneficial active ingredients like vitamins, flavonoids, and polyphenols. And despite this process, they’re actually less shelf stable than MetaPWR Advantage. It also means they’re shipping heavy water around the globe, increasing carbon emissions.

MetaPWR Advantage is delivered to you in hydrolyzed powder format for a more active and bioavailable delivery system at the time of taking it. Simply mix it with water immediately before you drink it. When you mix MetaPWR Advantage with cool or room temperature water, you’re consuming it as a liquid, meaning your body can easily absorb the stable non-degraded nutrients.

Avoiding Toxins

Avoiding Toxins

From birth, the human body is designed to protect against and remove as many toxins as possible. Toxins are all around us—in the food we eat, the air we breathe, the chemicals we clean with. “Toxic load” refers to the volume of toxic substances that have been accumulated in the body at any given time and the overall burden it places on the body systems and vital organs. Minimizing exposure to potentially harmful chemicals on a daily basis is the most effective method for limiting toxic load.

TIPS FOR AVOIDING TOXINS:

  • Clean out under your sink; replace traditional cleaning products with doTERRA On Guard Cleaner Concentrate
  • Use natural personal care products when possible, such as the Verage® skin care line
  • Keep your air fresh and clean by diffusing essential oils like doTERRA On Guard® and Lemon
  • Each whole foods and decrease the amount of processed foods in your diet

Where do toxins come from?Toxins come from countless sources, many of which we are not even aware of. Environmental threats, chemicals, and radiation are three of the most common categories. The three most common pathways of exposure are the lungs, the digestive tract, and the skin. We are directly exposed to toxins through the air we breathe, the food we eat, and anything that contacts our skin.How to reduce toxic loadYou might have wondered, “What are some ways that I can reduce my toxic load in my everyday life?” Lifestyle habits such as exercising and eating right will help tremendously with decreasing toxic load. However, there are some additional ways you can reduce your exposure to toxins. As you learn more about ingredients found in the products you use every day, you will be better able to make healthier decisions when selecting the best home cleaning and personal care products.Switching to safe and natural surface cleaning products is a great place to start. doTERRA offers a convenient, non-toxic, biodegradable, and preservative-free solution: doTERRA On Guard Cleaner Concentrate.Your skin is your body’s largest organ.
