Stop the clock on an aging brain and body—naturally

It goes without saying, but bears repeating: There’s no secret recipe for eternal youth.

 

The fact is, addressing age-related decline requires a comprehensive, multifaceted approach. Think of it like addressing a complex system—similar to repairing the interconnected parts of an engine—where improving one component can positively affect others.

 

If you want to game the system, you need to be paying close attention to all of the parts.

 

For instance, reduced cognitive function often leads to frustration and negative emotions, increasing the risk of depression. Similarly, low energy and fatigue—resulting from mitochondrial dysfunction or hormonal imbalances—diminish motivation and mental sharpness, feeding into a cycle of cognitive decline and mood disorders.

 

Chronic stress and elevated cortisol levels worsen these conditions by damaging brain cells, impairing sleep, and reducing testosterone levels—creating a vicious cycle of cognitive impairment, low energy, and depression.

 

That’s why effective solutions need to be holistic and grounded in science, targeting multiple pathways simultaneously.

 

Optimizing diet, getting regular exercise, and clocking sufficient sleep are a critical start. These foundational strategies can slow—and in some cases, potentially reverse—brain aging. But this is one instance where targeted supplementation, in particular, can make a world of difference.

 

That’s why we’re thrilled to introduce Better with Age—a comprehensive natural combination of vitamins, minerals and botanicals designed to enhance mood, cognition, and energy.

 

Carefully developed by Dr. Geo Espinosa to optimize memory, alertness, and improve mood, this formula contains the most essential botanicals and nutrients men need to feel and function younger than their calendar years, including:

  • Curcumin (Curcuma longa): Found in turmeric, curcumin is great for brain health. It helps improve memory, reduces fatigue, and boosts mood by lowering stress and anxiety. It also protects the brain from damage thanks to its powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
  • B Vitamins (Folate, B6, B12): These vitamins support brain health by enhancing mood and cognition. The active forms of these vitamins (like L-5-MTHF, P5P, and methylcobalamin) are more easily absorbed by the body, making them more effective in improving brain function, especially in helping with memory and mood regulation.
  • Vitamin C: Known for boosting energy and mental sharpness, vitamin C improves attention and focus. It also helps the body produce neurotransmitters, the chemicals that support mood and cognitive performance.
  • Vitamin D: Low vitamin D levels are linked to mood issues like depression and cognitive problems. Supplementing with vitamin D can help improve mental clarity, mood, and overall and testosterone levels.
  • Velvet Bean (Mucuna pruriens): This plant contains L-Dopa, which the body converts into dopamine—a key brain chemical for motivation, focus, and mood. Mucuna pruriens also improves testosterone levels by reducing oxidative stress and enhancing testosterone production, contributing to improved reproductive health and vitality.
  • L-Theanine: An amino acid found in tea, L-Theanine helps reduce stress and promotes a calm, focused mind. It increases alpha brain waves, which are linked to a relaxed yet attentive state.
  • Lion’s Mane Mushroom (Hericium erinaceus): This mushroom promotes the growth of brain cells and protects the brain from damage. It’s known to support cognitive function, memory, and mood stability.
  • Huperzine A: This compound helps improve memory and learning by increasing acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter involved in memory. It has also been studied for its ability to protect the brain and enhance mental alertness.
  • Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera): An ancient herb used to manage stress, Ashwagandha helps reduce anxiety and balances cortisol levels. This can lead to improved mood, better focus, and more energy.
  • Bacopa Monnieri: Traditionally used to boost brain function, Bacopa enhances memory and reduces anxiety. It also supports brain health with its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
  • Acetyl-L-Carnitine: This nutrient supports the body’s energy production and has been shown to improve mental energy, mood, and cognitive function, particularly in older adults.
  • Magnesium Glycinate: Magnesium glycinate is a highly absorbable form that helps with relaxation, mood stability, and brain function. Magnesium has been shown to positively influence testosterone levels, especially in physically active individuals, by increasing free testosterone availability.

 

In combination with key lifestyle interventions–again, think exercise, healthy diet, and adequate sleep–Better with Age helps to restore functional testosterone levels, reduce oxidative stress, support mitochondrial function, and promote neuroplasticity—paving the way to sharp cognition, balanced mood, and boundless energy.

 

And if you’re a man over 50? Well, that’s about the closest thing to a fountain of youth you’ll find.

 

Until next time,
