Rays Concoction
Anti-Aging Magic Concoction
Over the years I have experimented with many nutrients to enhance my health. Attending and obtaining board certification with The American Academy of Anti-Aging and Functional Medicine, and my own experimentation and research led me to come several “protocols that work,” how I like to call them. Here, I want to share with you my “secret” of my morning routine.
First thing in the morning when I wake up, I drink magic concoction mixed in water consisting of:
I believe It’s very important to use it in powder form, as body is reacting and better absorbing nutrients that we taste, due to neuro-lingual response. These nutrients have in common that they all work on a cellular level, greatly assisting and improving metabolism in terms:
Even that all these nutrients have in common by working on a cellular level, each have a slightly different action and function. Let’s examine them briefly:
Carnitine
Carnitine Burns Fat, Including Visceral Belly Fat
Carnitine is a potent fat burner because it does a COMPLETE JOB, by transporting fats into the cells to be used for energy, and removing the waste material at the end. It is important to have the same day Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids present, in ideal rations as found in EFA SIRT Supreme product, since Carnitine is the delivery system for long chain fatty acids. The less carnitine you have in the body, the fewer fatty acids that get into the cell, meaning you don’t burn them for energy. Instead, the fatty acids go into a depository and are stored as fat. By elevating carnitine, fat burning increases and you give the cell the right genetic machinery to raise metabolism. You’ll have more energy, feel more motivated, and any excess fat begins to come off.
Researchers found that triglycerides were lowered by 24 percent and free fatty acids decreased by 29 percent compared to a placebo group that had no changes. These changes indicate healthier markers of cholesterol, better energy use, and fat burning that will lead to fat loss. Additionally, genes that increase fat burning in the body were “activated” indicating a better metabolic profile.
Visceral belly fat is one of the toughest fats to lose once you’ve got it, and it causes numerous health problems. Once you begin to gain visceral fat around the belly, it will lead to fat gain within the organs such as the liver, the heart, or even in muscle. Fat gain in the liver leads to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, while epicardial fat is a type of visceral fat that is deposited around the heart and is considered a metabolically active organ, altering heart function.
Raising your carnitine levels will fight this visceral fat gain because it increases fat burning, which has the effect of taking triglycerides and low-density lipoproteins out of the system so that they don’t build up causing high cholesterol and atherosclerosis. A new research study in the journal Food and Chemical Toxicology illustrates this. Researchers gave a carnitine supplement to mice who were fed a high-fat diet in order to make them gain weight. In comparison to a group of mice fed a placebo, the carnitine group gained substantially less visceral and subcutaneous fat. The placebo group exhibited the beginning stages of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and atherosclerosis, neither of which were evident in the carnitine group.
Athletic Performance
Elevating carnitine will also improve physical performance by burning more fat, sparing glycogen, clearing muscle lactate, and increasing anabolic hormone response.
A recent study in The Journal of Physiology provides groundbreaking evidence that carnitine supplementation can improve athletic performance, something that researchers have had trouble proving for years. Emerging research on the benefits of carnitine for health in conjunction with evidence that clarifies the best ways to take carnitine (insulin must be present in the body for carnitine to be delivered into the muscle), make it time to revisit this amino acid. Let’s look at the top ten health benefits of elevating your carnitine levels with a focus on achieving optimal body composition.
Prevent Type 2 Diabetes and Improve Insulin Health
Carnitine is emerging as a supplement that can prevent type 2 diabetes because of how it improves fat metabolism. It can counter the diseases of metabolic syndrome by preventing atherosclerosis, and supporting cardiovascular health, while inducing fat loss. Plus, raising carnitine levels will fight related type 2 diabetes factors because it has antioxidant properties, meaning it abolishes free radicals and reduces oxidative stress.
Improves Male Fertility
Having adequate carnitine levels has been shown to be necessary for male fertility. One study found that fertile males had higher levels of carnitine and this was associated with healthier sperm. The men who were classified as infertile had lower carnitine and compromised sperm health. This study suggests that ensuring you have get adequate carnitine in conjunction with healthy lifestyle practices can support fertility.
==========================================================
MSM
Methyl-Sulfonyl-Methane (MSM) is a nutritional sulfur compound that is derived from DMSO. MSM is 34% sulfur by weight and sulfur is the 8th most predominant nutrient in the body. Sulfur is necessary for virtually every type of cell. Let’s examine some of the benefits:
Glutathione has two different states within your body: reduced and oxidized. The ratio of those two signifies the overall oxidative status or the ability of your blood plasma to address oxidative stress. MSM improves that overall ratio. In other words, you have much more reduced glutathione that’s able to deal with these free radicals.
IAG (Arabinogalactans)
Arabinogalactans belong to a group of carbohydrates called polysaccharides. I consider this one of the best kept secret of all nutrition industry. To make simplified explanation, it’s basically improving cell to cell immunity by adding a coat on the surface of the cells and making cells supercharged and significantly more capable of recognizing and attacking the “enemy.”
Larch arabinogalactan is used for infections, including the common cold, flu, H1N1 (swine) flu, ear infections in children, and HIV/AIDS. It is also used to treat livercancer, as well as a brain condition caused by liver damage (hepatic encephalopathy). Some people use it to provide dietary fiber, lower cholesterol, and to boost the immune system.
Even that we don’t have sufficient data in research on this nutrient, my experience is that it quickly becomes one of the most popular nutrients with anyone who ever tried to use it for at least a month on a continual basis.
I would refer to someo of Dr D’Adamo studies, this is found on his website:
Antiviral effects
Arabinogalactans enhance the effectiveness of viral nucleotide analogs. Daily injections of a conjugate consisting of adenine arabinoside 5'-monophosphate (araAMP, vidarabine monophosphate) and arabinogalactan (7.9 residues araAMP per molecule arabinogalactan), at a dose of 3 mg of araAMP/kg, into woodchuck carriers of woodchuck hepatitis virus (WHV) decreased serum levels of WHV DNA. A dose of 3 mg/kg of unconjugated araAMP was ineffective, while a higher dose of araAMP (15 mg/kg, 14 days) produced a slight drop in WHV DNA. After cessation of dosing with the conjugate, serum viral DNA levels remained depressed for 42 days. In contrast, after cessation of dosing with araAMP alone, WHV DNA rapidly returned to original levels (28).

D-Ribose
D-Ribose is a simple, 5-carbon monosaccharide, or pentose sugar. It is used by all the cells of the body and is an essential compound in energy metabolism. Ribose also provides the structural backbone of our genetic material, DNA and RNA, certain vitamins and other important cellular compounds.
Who needs supplemental ribose?
Everyone needs ribose. It is an essential ingredient in stimulating natural energy production. Research has shown that ribose promotes cardiovascular health, reduces cardiac stress associated with strenuous activity and helps athletes reach new heights. Ribose helps hearts and muscles maintain healthy energy levels, and it accelerates energy recovery when tissues are stressed by strenuous exercise, overwork, or disease. Whether you are a trained athlete, a weekend warrior or are concerned about your cardiovascular health, ribose may help give the energy boost your body needs.
Ribose is normally made from glucose (a simple 6-carbon sugar) through a metabolic pathway called the Pentose Phosphate Pathway (PPP) or Hexose Monophosphate Shunt (HMS). Unfortunately, in heart and muscle cells important enzymes that regulate the activity of this pathway are lacking. As such, forming ribose in heart and muscle cells is a slow process. This delay in ribose synthesis in heart and muscle tissues also delays energy recovery when energy pools have been depleted by disease or exercise.
What will ribose do for someone concerned about cardiovascular health?
Numerous medical studies conducted in the U.S. and Europe have shown that energy levels in the heart can be dramatically lowered by exercise, decreased blood flow associated with certain cardiac diseases, or by changes in normal cellular energy metabolism. Depleted cardiac energy stores may be associated with increased cardiac stress, reduced blood flow to the periphery of the body, fatigue, and decreased exercise tolerance. Ribose is the key nutrient for quickly restoring cardiac energy.
What is the recommended daily dosage of ribose?
For energy enhancement, ½ to 1 teaspoon (about 2 – 5 grams) is generally adequate. Ribose is mildly sweet and completely soluble. It mixes easily with your favorite juice, milk or other cold foods to maximize athletic performance, or to keep energy pools high during strenuous activity, slightly larger doses may be required. Ribose should be taken just before and just after exercise or activity. For extended exercise, an additional 1 – 2 grams per hour of exercise or activity may be helpful.
It is beneficial to combine Ribose with Carntine, as Carnitine becomes more effective in the presence of sugar. Ribose helps the body actually make energy, while other supplements may help the body use energy more efficiently.
• Ribose speeds energy recovery.
• Ribose increases energy reserves.
• Ribose builds ATP in heart and muscle.
• Ribose maintains healthy energy levels in heart and muscle.
