Do you have enough of the miracle brain booster?

A substance called BDNF (brain-derived neurotropic factor) plays a key role in keeping mood, memory and mental processing at their peak. It's so vital for brain-cell growth, repair and signaling that it's been dubbed 'Miracle-Gro' for the brain. Plus, Boston University research reveals optimizing BDNF levels curbs the risk of memory loss and dementia by 51%. And while levels can dip by 50% from our 30s to our 50s and continue to decline, boosting BDNF is easy!

This week's Radical Health tip

The simple secret to YOUNGER SKIN

Youthful, radiant skin really does start from within! The key? Shoring up your stores of the healthy fat gamma-linolenic acid (GLA). The nutrient keeps cellular membranes from drying out, so skin stays smooth and supple. It can even help soothe conditions like eczema and psoriasis that tend to flare up at this time of year. In fact, Italian scientists found supplementing with GLA cuts eczema symptoms by up to 90%. I advise taking two capsules of UNI KEY Health GLA-90 twice daily.
