During that Variety Hour we will introduce our new Monthly Special – Phytoceramides. That name looks and sounds like a mouthful, but it is actually a very tiny capsule filled with a very simple, natural molecule that is the primary substance involved with our skin cells internally preserving their moisture and thus retaining smooth, soft, radiant skin on the outside with an increased resistance to wrinkling. I look forward to sharing more about this relatively new and infrequently seen product. Phytoceramides is the perfect Monthly Special to accompany our annual Healthy Hair Skin and Nails Today’s Special [from last week], as well as Marine Collagen Peptides with MSM Today’s Special.
Speaking of Marine Collagen Peptides with MSM, I have some exciting new research to discuss regarding more than just promoting healthy smooth skin and healthy resilient joints. [This] weekend, I will be discussing of all things…cellulite. That might seem to be an unusual subject given all of the myriad of external treatments for cellulite, but it should actually come as no surprise that a collagen supplement can have an impact if you consider the anatomical features that contribute to the appearance of cellulite. Specifically, it has been shown that disruptions and distortions in the organization of the collagen fiber beneath our skin and above our body fat aggravate and worsen that “orange peel” appearance of dimpled skin or mottling generally referred to as cellulite. In other words, to the extent we can improve the health and organization of the collagen layer beneath our skin, we can then better cover the irregularity of the fat underneath and thereby reduce the appearance of cellulite. It is a fascinating discussion and no more surprising than the already established benefits of these remarkable peptide molecules for our skin or for our joints. I swear by this product when it comes to my joints and my frequent exercise. Whether we are talking about the appearance of our skin and cellulite or the health of our joints or blood vessels, there is abundant new science and a wide variety of quotes from several studies that I will be sharing. Also, last year we improved this formula by essentially making it taste-neutral and completely odor-free. This year we have made another great improvement by dramatically improving its solubility and ease of mixing. Marine Collagen Peptides with MSM is a relatively new product and not as many folks have heard about it or had a chance to experience it, so I hope you have an opportunity to tune-in and learn more this weekend. I will also share why not all collagen is created equal and why we go all the way to Japan to get our unique material directly from the folks with the greatest scientific experience in researching and developing the original collagen peptides. I hope you tune-in next week to learn more about these remarkable, yet overlooked natural molecules.
I have heard the many questions and concerns about QVC’s acquisition of HSN and how that might affect my brand. I just want to reassure everyone that there is nothing to worry about, since nothing will be changing. I will record a brief video blog about why I believe this will be a positive experience for everyone who enjoys my products. I suppose for many of you this is no concern at all since you started with me at QVC and have followed my products for the more than 20 years since I last appeared there. Ultimately, I just want to put everyone’s mind at ease and say that the only changes I foresee will be for the better, since it has never been a secret that I acquired my “obsessive” focus on quality, service and your experience during my many years at QVC. Again, not to worry.
Lastly (and I promise this is the last thing J), as you have requested, I will post a brief blog regarding some of the research I have recently discussed on-air about how to work with your doctor to more effectively use Cholesterol Lowering Drugs to achieve the same results by consuming far less medicine while also saving money and dramatically reducing the risk of side effects. We will attach the medical studies and/or their abstracts, so you can share this with your physicians.
I look forward to seeing you Saturday evening at 11 PM and then Sunday at noon and 8 PM Eastern Time.
Best of Health.
Andrew
