Omega-3s: The Brain's Best Friend

MARCH 13, 2024

"Let’s explore how nutrients affect our focus and emotions! Omega-3 fatty acids, especially EPA and DHA, are our brains’ best friend and the most studied for brain health. These essential fatty acids are vital for keeping our minds sharp and emotions in check. Learning about omega-3s gives us insights into boosting our brainpower and emotional well-being and supporting mental clarity and cognitive function."

MTHFR and Focus

FEBRUARY 13, 2024

"You may know folate as vitamin B9, which supports focus and cognitive function. Folate has multiple forms: folic acid and the methylated form, L-methylfolate, which is the active form the body can readily use. Some individuals have MTHFR genetic mutations, which can affect the body's ability to metabolize folic acid, as conversion becomes a challenge. However, you can support normal focus and attention by supplementing directly with L-methylfolate."

Bioavailability and B Vitamins: Does It Matter?

JANUARY 17, 2024

"Simply put, bioavailability is an ingredient’s ability to be absorbed by the body and used as a nutrient. Using a bioavailable ingredient allows the nutrient to be more effective since it can be readily absorbed and utilized by the target area in the body. When discussing bioavailability, you'll also often hear about a nutrient's active form. When we eat or supplement with nutrients in their inactive forms, our bodies must activate it prior to use. "

Magnesium for Better Sleep

DECEMBER 19, 2023

"We also hope that you are not only sleeping but getting good rest. Many people use supplements like melatonin to help them get to sleep and/or stay asleep, but melatonin isn’t the only supplement that can help. Magnesium has been shown to improve insomnia, sleep efficiency, sleep time, sleep onset latency, and early morning awakening."

Which Supplements Support Mental Health?

NOVEMBER 13, 2023

"As Julia Rucklidge says in her TED Talk, “Nutrition matters. And if we’re really ready to get serious about mental health, we need to get serious about the critical role played by nutrition.” Individual nutrients have been the focus of many studies attempting to determine the role that they may play in normal brain function and mental health. Let’s look at each to discover just how they support mental well-being."

Brett's Story: Quality Ingredients Matter

OCTOBER 11, 2023

"When my son was in first grade, it became clear he needed additional support for his cognitive and emotional well-being. This pushed us to research further into the role nutrition plays in mental health. Finding the right combination of supplements was hard and getting him to consistently take many different supplements was even more challenging. I thought other parents may also have this struggle, which lead to the creation of Accentrate® for my son."

Social Media's Effect on Teens

JUNE 15, 2023

"We have all become more captivated by our phones and social media, and it can be exhilarating to see the reactions and comments roll in. While social media is a great tool for communication, learning, and entertainment, we’ve become so attached that it can easily reach an unhealthy level."

What's the difference between MicroVita® and Neuralli?

APRIL 12, 2023

"When searching for a probiotic that contains PS128™, you’ll run across both MicroVita® Focus by Fenix Health Science and Neuralli by Bened Life, but how do you know which is the right option for you? The main difference is Neuralli only contains PS128™, while MicroVita® aims to support the gut-brain axis by encouraging microbiome diversity with additional probiotic strains."

What Should I Look for in a Probiotic?

FEBRUARY 17, 2023

"Are probiotics just the latest health fad? With so many probiotics on the market it seems that would be the case, but there’s actually a substantial amount of scientific support emerging that they do provide health benefits. But are all probiotics the same? It can be challenging to determine which is the right product for your specific health goals."

Gratitude: A Simple Way to Help Mental Health

NOVEMBER 16, 2022

"As we approach the end of the year, many of us use this time to reflect and be grateful for our loved ones and the blessings in our lives. But did you know that gratitude can actually help your brain? Gratitude has a big impact on mental health as it releases serotonin and dopamine the brain craves."

Increasing Microbiome Diversity with MicroVita® Probiotics

SEPTEMBER 19, 2022

"Many expensive probiotics will provide ten, twelve, or even thirty-four probiotic strains in one product. Though all the strains may have healthy benefits, the problem with taking too many strains at the same time is that they will be competing against each other for colonization in the gut…and then few or none actually do."

MicroVita® Probiotics are Now Available!

AUGUST 16, 2022

"In the last decade, more and more scientific research shows the importance of gut health and its relation to mental health. Fenix Health Science has partnered with Jennifer Giustra-Kozek, LPC, HpN, RMT and the author of Healing Without Hurting in formulating our new probiotics, MicroVita® Focus and MicroVita® Mood."

Probiotics and the Gut-Brain Connection

JULY 18, 2022

"The gut-brain axis is simply your gut and brain communicating back and forth through the enteric nervous system. Because of this communication, the billions of microorganisms that inhabit the digestive tract, called the gut microbiota, can influence various normal mental processes and phenomena and is involved with mental and neurological health."

Nutritional Supplements on Summer Break

JUNE 22, 2022

"Nutritional supplementation is more like having a healthy diet to accompany exercise for the physical body’s health. If you have a healthy diet and have an exercise regimen, your body becomes healthier. If you stop working out or if you go back to unhealthy eating habits, you won’t immediately lose everything you’ve gained, but it will take longer to get back to where you were when you resume healthy eating."

Don't Love the Taste? Try This!

MARCH 3, 2022

"Supplements are like vegetables—they’re great for you, but they’re not always the best tasting. Just like we may add cheese to broccoli to encourage kids…or let’s be honest, us adults…to eat it, there are some easy tricks to taking supplements as well."

Why do the EPA & DHA doses seem low?

JUNE 20, 2018

Oftentimes individuals looking to support cognitive function are recommended to take Omega-3 fatty acids (O3FA), specifically EPA and DHA. Most EPA and DHA supplements are derived from fish oil. When EPA and DHA are extracted from fish oil, the O2FA are either in triglyceride form, or ethyl ester form. These are apples to oranges when compared to the phospholipid form. What is the difference?
