Don’t Hibernate this, Winter!
Ways to Stay Active During Cold Months
Staying active during the winter can be challenging due to colder temperatures and shorter daylight hours, but it's essential for maintaining your health and well-being. Here are some tips for exercising and staying active during the winter:
Indoor Workouts: Consider joining a gym or fitness center to access indoor exercise equipment.
Explore workout classes like Yoga, Pilates, or indoor cycling.
Invest in home exercise equipment like dumbbells, resistance bands, or a stationary bike.
Embrace Outdoor Activities: Dress appropriately in layers to stay warm. Wear moisture-wicking base layers, insulating mid-layers, and a waterproof outer layer.
Choose outdoor activities that you enjoy, such as ice skating, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, or winter hiking.
Be cautious when participating in outdoor winter sports, and ensure you're well-prepared and aware of safety guidelines.

Protect, Soothe, and Revitalize Your Skin this Winter!
By Ross Pelton, RPh, CCN, PhD
Scientific Director for Essential Formulas
The skin is our largest and most visible organ; in many ways, skin health tells us a lot about our internal health. For example, easy bruising and dry, wrinkled, sagging skin are signs of increased free radical damage and accelerated aging. In addition to being visible externally, these signs indicate what's happening internally. Hence, there is a growing awareness that skin health mirrors internal health and human aging.i
Wintertime can undoubtedly affect our skin's appearance and health, but we can do many things to hold on to our glow. And exclusive, overpriced skincare products need not be one of them. Instead, turn to natural skincare ingredients to create your own summer skincare arsenal of cleansers, lotions, and supplements.
Essential Formulas has several products that enhance skin health and, at the same time, promote improved internal health and help to slow down the process of biological aging.

Glutathione: A Key Therapy in Detoxifying Alcohol
Reg’Activ to the Rescue if you Overindulge During the “Holi-daze”
By Ross Pelton, RPh, CCN, PhD
Scientific Director for Essential Formulas
Everyone knows that consuming high levels of alcohol is toxic. The purpose of this article is to explain how alcohol causes toxicity and discuss a key therapy that helps protect against damage due to over indulgence of alcohol.
Alcohol Metabolism
Alcohol metabolism is a two-step process that takes place in the liver. In the first step, an enzyme named alcohol dehydrogenase converts alcohol into compound named acetaldehyde, which is called an intermediate metabolite.
In the second step, an enzyme named glutathione-S transferase facilitates the joining of acetaldehyde with glutathione. The acetaldehyde-glutathione complex is easily excreted in the urine. When adequate levels of glutathione are available in the liver, alcohol detoxification goes smoothly. However, one evening of heavy drinking will quickly deplete the liver’s stores of glutathione.

The History & Discovery of Lactobacillus Fermentum ME-3
The Glutathione Producing Probiotic
Professor Marika Mikelsaar, M.D., Ph.D., a professor emeritus in the department of microbiology at the University of Tartu, is credited with the discovery of Lactobacillus Fermentum ME-3.
Professor Mikelsaar and her team of scientists in the Department of Microbiology at the University of Tartu were highly qualified to study the properties of ME-3 due to their years of research on Lactobacillus bacteria and the ecology of the human gastrointestinal tract. In fact, for over 20 years, Professor Mikelsaar and her colleagues worked with the Russian Space Program studying the effects that space flight had on the intestinal bacteria of astronauts.
