Ingredients

Limited Ingredient Product Description:

Youthful Returns® Dietary Supplement is not a treatment or cure for any medical disorder or disease.  If you have any questions relating to immune or digestive health, you should consult a healthcare professional.

Youthful Returns® Dietary Supplement is a custom blend of just four high quality functional ingredients.  That’s right, just four ingredients, each with an important function; no flavors and no fillers!

Ingredient #1:   IGY Max® Hyperimmune Egg Powder.  Patented IgY Max® provides targeted protection against non-beneficial bacteria in the digestive tract to combat the source of dysbiosis (imbalance in the gut).  By limiting the attachment of non-beneficial bacteria in the digestive tract, IgY Max® improves gut integrity and promotes the growth of healthy bacteria.

An excellent source of highly bioavailable nutrients.     According to the Egg Nutrition Center:  Eggs are a nutrient goldmine!

  • One large egg has varying amounts of 13 essential vitamins and minerals, high-quality protein, all for 70 calories.
  • While egg whites contain some of the eggs’ high-quality protein, riboflavin and selenium, the majority of an egg’s nutrient package is found in the yolk. Nutrients such as:
    • Vitamin D, critical for bone health and immune function. Eggs are one of the only foods that naturally contain vitamin D.
    • Choline, essential for normal functioning of all cells, but particularly important during pregnancy to support healthy brain development of the fetus.
    • Lutein and zeaxanthin, antioxidants that are believed to reduce the risk of developing cataracts and slow the progression of age-related macular degeneration, a disease that develops with age.”

Eggs contain a number of nutrients that are essential throughout the lifespan:

  • High-quality protein contains building blocks needed to support healthy bones and muscles. Research suggests that exercise, along with optimal protein intake, can slow the effects of sarcopenia or chronic age-related muscle loss.
  • Choline is essential for normal liver function and brain health. It is especially important during pregnancy to support normal fetal growth and development, and most pregnant women do not consume adequate amounts of choline. Consuming eggs during pregnancy is one solution to choline consumption issues.

Each serving of Youthful Returns® Dietary Supplement Blend contains (in a spray dried form) the equivalent of about 1/3 of a large egg.

Ingredient #2: UC-II® Undenatured Type II Collagen has shown to be significantly more effective than Glucosamine & Condroitin in Reducing Joint Pain and Stiffness.  A recent NIH funded study: Daily supplementation with 40 mg of UC-II® was well tolerated and led to improved knee joint extension in healthy subjects.  UC-II® also demonstrated the potential to lengthen the period of pain free strenuous exertion and alleviate the joint pain that occasionally arises from such activities.   Undenatured type II collagen (UC-II®) for joint support: a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study in healthy volunteers - PubMed

Ingredient #3:   Short chain fructan fiber (scFOS) is a unique and highly functional prebiotic.

From Ingredion, the maker of our scFOS:

Ingredient #4:  Probiotic BC4U Bacillus coagulans strain JBI-YZ6.3       

  • The World Health Organization (WHO) defines probiotics as “live microorganisms, which, when taken in adequate amounts, offer a health benefit.”
  • “The Immune / Digestive Connection Your immune and digestive systems - like two peas in a pod.  Scientists are learning that your digestive system is responsible for a lot more than, well, digestion. For example: An astounding 70 percent of your immune system is housed in this intricate structure. It makes sense then that a healthy digestive system benefits the immune system, and scientists are uncovering how.
  • The immune cells in your digestive tract share their space with a community of over 400 species of naturally occurring bacteria – some helpful, some harmful. Keeping a healthy level of these “good” bacteria, or probiotics, is one key to maintaining your digestive and immune health. How can you ensure that you've got a good balance of bacteria in your gut? A healthy diet low in sugar and refined foods is the first step toward healthy intestines, and therefore a healthy immune system. A great safeguard is to regularly consume probiotics, that may help support your immune system by keeping the levels of the good vs. bad bacteria in balance…creating an optimal environment for your immune system to function.
