The bridge between stress and immunity
A strong immune system that protects the body from invasion by foreign pathogens is critical to maintaining good health and well-being. Because of this, products that boost immune health are in increasing demand by consumers.

This makes it one of the fastest growing categories for dietary supplements.

Leptin is a master hormone in the human body with wide ranging influence over a multitude of bodily functions. Its discovery in 1994 by researchers investigating the cause of extreme obesity in a certain strain of mice led the researchers to conclude that these mice had a mutation in the gene responsible for leptin synthesis. Because leptin is a powerful appetite suppressor, its absence in the mutant mice led them to eat uncontrollably which caused their obesity. Since then, research on leptin’s effects in the body has exploded, resulting in the publication of thousands of scientific articles in peer-reviewed journals. In addition to influencing weight management, leptin also supports many metabolic functions required for optimum health.

Sensoril® is a Performance Enhancer that Addresses Many Symptoms of Andropause
After the age of 50, many men experience an age-related condition called andropause, which is characterized by symptoms associated with lower testosterone levels. Testosterone plays a key role in promoting libido, maintaining muscle and bone strength, and supporting other essential health benefits in the body. Symptoms of andropause are often exacerbated by cortisol, a stress hormone that rises in concentration as we age. The combination of reduced testosterone and increased cortisol in men can result in reduced sexual performance, abdominal obesity, decreased lean muscle mass, poor sports performance from reduced strength and stamina, anxiety and fatigue, a depressed mood and difficulty sleeping, as well as reduced cognitive function (memory loss, inability to concentrate). These physiological changes often can lead to a reduced quality of life.
