The hard-working, rolling-up-sleeves, humble-as-all-get-out person who can be relied on to not just get the job done, but get it done right?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>In the supplement world, AC-11\u00ae is <em>that<\/em> person.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>What Is AC-11\u00ae?<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>AC-11\u00ae is a powerful botanical compound derived from a plant called cat&#8217;s claw (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nccih.nih.gov\/health\/cats-claw\">Uncaria tomentosa<\/a>), a woody vine harvested from the Amazon Rainforest. More than 20 years of research and development support the ingredient\u2019s efficacy, especially for its unique ability to naturally support the body in repairing its own DNA.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>How Does AC-11\u00ae Work?<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>AC-11\u00ae is rich in phytochemicals (compounds produced by plants) and formulated to normalize inflammatory responses while promoting natural DNA repair and a healthy immune response.<br \/><br \/>AC-11\u00ae provides advanced genomic support and helps support your natural defense mechanisms against a number of external stressors, such as overexposure to the sun (UV radiation), strenuous exercise, fatigue, and the general effects of aging. AC-11\u00ae promotes a healthy inflammatory response by inhibiting pro-inflammatory cytokines.<br \/><br \/>One fascinating finding is that AC-11\u00ae can increase telomere length.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Telomeres are essentially what protect your DNA from damage. (Think of telomeres like the tape on the end of a shoelace. It&#8217;s there to keep everything from unraveling!)<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>How Can AC-11\u00ae Help Support My Health?<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li><strong>DNA Repair.<\/strong> AC-11\u00ae helps the body\u2019s natural ability to repair its own DNA, effectively promoting cellular health and healthy aging.<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li><strong>Skin health.<\/strong> AC-11\u00ae increases the over-expression of type III collagen. This is your body&#8217;s own natural collagen, not exogenous (synthetic) collagen. Because of genetic variations, some people can&#8217;t break down synthetic collagen as easily as others. AC-11\u00ae works by enhancing your body&#8217;s own collagen production.<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li><strong>Antioxidant Support.<\/strong> AC-11\u00ae helps to protect against excessive free radicals that can lead to DNA damage.<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li><strong>Helps support healthy inflammatory response.<\/strong> Even though we usually think of inflammation as a bad thing, some level of inflammation in the body is necessary. This is part of a proper immune response. AC-11\u00ae helps to normalize the expression of NF-KB, thereby regulating the cellular response to systemic inflammation.<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li><strong>Auditory Health. <\/strong>Research has shown supplementation of AC-11\u00ae in animals restored neural function associated with hearing damage.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>How Does AC-11\u00ae Stack Up Against Other Healthy Aging Supplements?<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>One of the major benefits of AC-11\u00ae over other healthy aging supplements is the way it encourages the body to increase its own natural collagen response. Instead of flooding your body with exogenous (synthetic) collagen, AC-11\u00ae helps your body to make more of its own!<br \/><br \/>This assists the body&#8217;s own self-healing mechanisms, which don&#8217;t always work as efficiently as they could.<br \/><br \/>AC-11\u00ae can be applied topically on the skin and taken orally through a nutritional supplement.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Who Should Use AC-11\u00ae?<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>A better question might be, &#8220;Why aren&#8217;t we all using AC-11\u00ae?&#8221;<br \/><br \/>Our body sometimes forgets how to conduct repair processes due to lifestyle factors or epigenetics. AC-11\u00ae can help the body carry out the tasks it&#8217;s naturally designed to perform (and perform them well). The goal is for our body to function properly so we can live in an optimal state of health and wellness!<br \/><br \/>You don&#8217;t have to wait until you have a specific concern and then scramble to address it. AC-11\u00ae is an effective proactive measure you can take for your overall well-being. Just think of it as another defense against biological aging, that can help you stay healthy now.<br \/><br \/>Proactive nutritional support is the concept behind our supplements.
