Can hormone therapy stave off Alzheimer's?
I saved this article because the lengthening of telomere's is what seemed to stave off Alzheimer's, and, Shaklee's Vivix has been proven to lengthen telomere's!!!! Just an interesting bit of info, to me anyway!
Matching DNA W Medical Records To Crack Disease & Aging on NPR
Protecting your DNA is 1 of the 18 Secrets For A Healthier Life as shown on WebMD's slideshow. For example, as we age, the ends of our chromosomes, called telomeres, become shorter. This makes people more vulnerable to disease, and it may be a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Click here to view the slideshow.
In fact, regarding telomeres, Shaklee partnered with 2009 Nobel Prize winner Dr. Elizabeth Blackburn, Professor of Biology and Physiology in the Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics at the University of California, San Francisco, and they are doing a Telomere Research Study involving people who use Shaklee supplements. It will be called the Landmark Study II. Dr. Blackburn's speciality is in the study of telomeres, which is important because it is a marker of longevity. She discovered how chromosomes are protected by telomeres and the enzyme telomerase. They are studying the benefits of taking Omega 3's and multivitamins on telomeres. This study began on 1-21-11 using 107 Shaklee participants who had used Shaklee's supplements for 5 years or more, and the tests were conducted in San Francisco. More information will be coming in the future when this clinical study is completed.
Dr. Jamie McManus, Shaklee's Chair of Medical Affairs, Health Sciences and Education, recommends that we take the Vitalizer and OmegaGuard, which they expect could be very good for our telomeres. In addition, Dr. Jamie recommends we focus on prevention instead of waiting till we are sick. As she says, "Why wait for things to go wrong with your health?" Therefore, to keep our bodies as healthy as possible, she recommends we eat a healthy, balanced diet, get to and maintain a healthy weight, exercise, and take high-quality nutritional supplements. Dr. Jamie's suggestions to put us on the path to health and wellness include taking the Rx for a Healthier Life every day. The Rx for a Healthier Life includes Vivix (it contains resveratrol and a phytonutrient blend including muscadine grapes, which helps to slow aging at the cellular level in 4 ways: cell defense, cell energy, cell repair & cell performance), Vitalizer (this is the most advanced multi-nutrient pack in the marketplace today, and it contains 80 bio-optimized nutrients clinically proven to create a foundation for a longer, healthier life), the Shaklee 180 Smoothee (gives you 24 grams of non-GMO soy protein; clinically proven, it helps you preserve your muscle mass while losing weight), and NutriFeron (this provides immune support right at the cellular level).
In addition, for recent information about Dr. Elizabeth Blackburn's telomere research, read/listen to the article Matching DNA With Medical Records To Crack Disease And Aging just written November 19, 2012.
This massive research project in California is beginning to show how genes, health habits and the environment can interact to cause diseases. And it's all possible because 100,000 people agreed to contribute some saliva in the name of science.
The project's goal is to find new ways to identify people at risk before they develop problems like heart disease, cancer and diabetes. This month, researchers reported on some early successes involving cholesterol and a genetic marker of aging at the American Society of Human Genetics meeting in San Francisco.
In addition, look at the remarks written on the image shown with this article: A light micrograph image of telomeres, shown in yellow, at the end of human chromosomes. Women tend to have longer telomeres than men and tend to outlive men, according to new research matching genetic information with medical records. (Visuals Unlimited/Corbis).

Great News about Resveratrol
Dear Friends & Family,
The most significant human study to date, which supports the health-enhancing benefits of resveratrol that may address many of the chronic age-related diseases of our time, has just been published!
In a study published this month in Cell Metabolism, Dutch researchers showed that taking a resveratrol supplement for 30 days significantly lowered multiple markers associated with heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and many other chronic diseases. These include markers of inflammation, improved mitochondrial capacity, lowered blood pressure, and blood glucose.
Since inflammation is at the root of literally hundreds of diseases, this has immense potential health implications. And we know that chronic inflammation leads not only to age-related diseases but to accelerated aging, as well! This study also showed reductions in both blood pressure and triglyceride levels, both of which are associated with heart disease risk.
Diabetes has increased a whopping 35% in just the past decade. Until now, the only nonpharmacologic way to improve insulin sensitivity and reduce your risk of developing diabetes has been calorie restriction and weight loss—which is so very hard for people. This study would suggest that adding a high potency resveratrol supplement may help improve your insulin sensitivity and lower blood-sugar levels.
Anyone out there too tired to exercise? Well, this study may provide an answer for this, as well! These study participants showed significant increases in markers of mitochondrial function. Mitochondria are your body’s energy producers that tend to decrease in number and output as we age. The increases seen in this study were similar to those seen with endurance training. So get some of the energy benefits associated with exercise and ramp up your mitochondria just by taking a resveratrol supplement! Sounds too good to be true, but I must say the results here are compelling and exciting.
My advice is that, along with trying to eat better and exercise regularly, it makes better sense than ever to add in a high potency resveratrol supplement to your daily routine.

Do you ever eat Fast Food, Smoke, are Overweight? You might want to read this NEWLY Published Clinical Study!
We are pleased to announce the publication of a new Shaklee-sponsored clinical research study confirming that key Vivix® ingredients blunt the biological stress response that occurs after consuming a high-fat meal1.* This biological stress response refers to the acute oxidative and cellular responses that occur in the body to address metabolic by-products of common lifestyle factors such as eating an unhealthful diet, being overweight, or smoking. If the biological stress response persists over time, it may lead to many of the age-related health challenges we see today.
One way to study this biological stress response is to observe what happens in the bloodstream after eating a high-fat fast food meal, as this is known to produce a significant amount of oxidative and biological stress.So Shaklee scientists collaborated with researchers to study the effects of Vivix ingredients on the metabolic responses to eating a typical fast food meal. The researchers gave key Vivix ingredients or a placebo immediately before the consumption of a high-fat fast food meal and measured oxidative and biological stress response for five hours following the meal. Results showed significant blunting of the typical oxidative and biological stress response to a high-fat meal, as well as significant activation of Nrf-2, a key regulator of the body’s antioxidant defenses, in the group consuming the Vivix polyphenols.*
The study was published Feb. 2, 2011, online in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism.Clinicals.Shaklee.com
This research nicely complements our mitochondrial mass study showing increased cellular energy production with Vivix ingredients compared to resveratrol alone AND our laboratory study showing that Vivix ingredients are more powerful than resveratrol at inhibiting AGE protein formation.
What does this mean to you? You can now share the incredible news that we have a human clinical study published in a prestigious peer-reviewed medical research journal that shows significant and positive physiologic effects in people consuming key Vivix ingredients.
To your great health, We encourage you to access the study from your nearest university library or from the Web site and to look for future Health Sciences Bulletins for more information on the health risks associated with oxidative and biological stress responses.

New Resveratrol + Muscadine Grape Study
A Resveratrol and Polyphenol Preparation Suppresses Oxidative and Inflammatory Stress Response to a High-Fat, High-Carbohydrate Meal
This study showed that a resveratrol and muscadine polyphenol-based supplement suppresses the oxidative and inflammatory stress response to eating a high fat, high carbohydrate fast food meal. The supplement was specifically shown to stimulate the activity of a key regulator of the body's antioxidant defense system,... Nrf-2, and induce the expression of related antioxidant genes.

U. of Tennessee, Shaklee Team to Study Impact of VIVIX Polyphenols on Cellular Energy & Metabolism
Aug 10, 2010 14:25 ET
PLEASANTON, CA--(Marketwire - August 10, 2010) - Can a supplement with resveratrol and polyphenols boost cellular energy and metabolism? Researchers at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville and Shaklee Corporation have partnered to address these questions by studying the impact of a unique blend of resveratrol and muscadine polyphenols found in Shaklee VIVIX Cellular Anti-Aging* dietary supplement, on human muscle cell mitochondria, the intra-cellular power plants that generate cellular energy.
With this research, Dr. Jamie McManus, Chairman of Medical Affairs, Health Sciences and Education at Shaklee, and Dr. Michael Zemel of the University of Tennessee are seeking to determine the impact of this unique polyphenol blend on key biological processes related to cellular energy production and aging.
"One of the key mechanisms of aging is a decline in mitochondrial mass as well as the effectiveness of the mitochondria," said Dr. McManus. "In our research, we're trying to validate the impact of VIVIX polyphenols on mitochondrial biogenesis -- shorthand for how the number and size of mitochondria help create cellular energy and boost metabolism. We're excited to share our research goals with the medical community and create a baseline for future studies on polyphenols and cellular energy metabolism."
VIVIX was developed by Shaklee scientists by combining resveratrol with an extract from the only grape in nature that contains an extra chromosome. This muscadine super grape has polyphenols that complement the many benefits of resveratrol. Shaklee scientists created a unique profile of polyphenols shown in laboratory studies to positively impact multiple mechanisms of cellular aging.*

Anti-Aging ~ Antioxidants ~ Resveratrol ~ Shaklee
Many companies out there just produce products that follow the current trend, without caring for safety, efficacy and purity. For example, they make anti-aging products merely from antioxidants. Research tells us that anti-oxidants alone do not contribute to slowing the aging process. Resveratrol does. Shaklee's VivixTM is 10X more powerful than resveratrol alone! Do your own research before you buy!
Shaklee is a different kind of company. Shaklee CARES about you and your health. Shaklee has never had a product recalled in 54 years! Shaklee will NEVER make a product that will harm you. Do you really know of any other company who can say that? Really? Do you know of another company who cares that much about you and your health? Please, if you do, I would love to hear about them. Do your own research ~ learn, JOIN me, and then tell your friends and family that you care about. They deserve to know.
