I’ve been seeing a lot of discussion on Twitter and in blogs that I follow about the difference in the amount of Acai berry in their various drink products. The question I pose to them is “how much does YOUR body need”. Scientists cracked the human DNA code in 2003. They discovered that each of us is 99.1% the same. But it’s the other .9% that makes us unique and therefore
our body’s health needs are unique. Therefore, what is YOUR DNA telling you it needs? Does it need extra help in fighting free radicals with extra doses of anti-oxidants, and if so how much?
I took MonaVie for almost a year and found that it gave me extra energy and more sleep. It was a welcome change! However, I was still experiencing severe pain in my hips after a couple hours of dancing with my wife for at least a day after. But, then I discovered GeneWize Life Sciences. Time Magazine awarded its top invention for 2008 to the DNA Assessment Kit. I wanted to find out what my DNA was telling me. I wanted to be able to throw away the 11 containers of vitamin and mineral supplements my wife insisted I needed, and if possible to be free of the cholesterol prescription I am taking.
My DNA Analysis indicates that out of the 12 SNP’s it tests, 2 of mine are in need of “Maximum Support” and 5 need “Added Support”. SNP’s (Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms) are small variations in DNA. These account for all human differences including HOW EFFICIENT WE ARE AT KEY BIOLOGICAL PROCESSES. The first SNP that needed maximum support is my VDR (Vitamin D Receptor). In addition, one of the areas I need “Added Support” is the MMP-1 (collagen). This is the main component of cartilage, ligaments, tendons, and bone.
Hmm this might account for my hips being so weak! The second SNP that needs maximum support is ApoB (Apolipoprotein B). Apolipoproteins make up the protein part of lipoproteins (cholesterol carriers). One of the more researched apolipoproteins is apolipoprotein B (ApoB). It constitutes the protein component of LDL, the “bad” kind of cholesterol carrier.
Ah yes, it confirms why I need to take the cholesterol medicine! So naturally, the ingredients in my “
Ray Delworth nutritional supplements” contain nutrients for maximum support to
my vitamin D receptor, collagen, and to control
my “bad” cholesterol. The other ingredients work to help the other five areas that need added support. Of note, though, is that my EPHX, NQO1, and SOD2 SNP’s that deal with Epoxides (toxic highly reactive foreign chemicals), the coenzyme Q10 reductase, which is a key anti-oxidant, and SOD2 which also is involved in scavenging free radicals, but focuses on one particular toxic type of free radical: superoxide - all are at "
Optimum Genetic Function".
So, again the question I posed is “
how much Acai berry (highest level of anti-oxidants to fight free radicals, toxins, oxidative stress) do I need”. The answer FOR ME is “
NOT VERY MUCH” since my DNA handles the problem very well (Optimum Genetic Function). So all that money ($142 monthly) was a waste of money!
And I certainly don’t need to worry about whether the drink I’m ingesting has 19% Acai Berry or 100%!If you want to know what your DNA is telling you about what it needs, then start your journey to YOUR best health here --
