re Green Tea

Jasmine Green Tea is the way to go.  

For hot tea, I buy Mighty Leaf Organic Spring Jasmine Tea (green) and for cold tea, I buy Ito En Jasmine Green Tea.

I get the Ito En at Whole Foods, Harris Teeter or Amazon.  It's cheapest at Amazon.  Grocery stores now sell Mighty Leaf and Cost Plus World Market has the brand but not the Earl Grey that I also love.

@VaBelle35, thanks for the link. This is a few sentences from what Mark wrote about PPQ:

PQQ is a bacterial biofactor present in soil, on plants, and in animals. It stimulates plant and bacterial growth, and when animals eat the plants (or soil) that contains the bacteria, they also get the PQQ.

This is interesting because recently Dr Oz had a guest (maybe Mark Hyman) who suggested that people shouldn't scrub their root vegetables too much before eating them... because this would remove the soil residue which had important health properties. -- I wonder if they wer talking about PPQ. 

VaBelle, why is it that Japanese natto (yucky fermented soy beans) have such a variety of miraculous properties.

I'll have to review the PDF file later but it sounds like PPQ works with the mitachondria. This explains why my friend takes a Life Extension COQ10 with PPQ.

Interesting.  When I buy organic veggies and fruit, I don't wash them because Mark is always talking about eating dirt.  But I thought that was really related to gut health.

re PQQ

Mark Sissan says to drink  green tea because green tea is high in PQQ.

http://www.marksdailyapple.com/managing-your-mitochondria-nutrients-and-supplements/#axzz4DZu9dQ9z

I already drink of LOT of organic green tea, so maybe I don't need to supplement with PQQ.  Sissan links to a lengthy research paper on PQQ inside the link as well, if anyone wants to read more about it.

I still want to hear the presentation!  LOL

---

@VaBelle35, thanks for that info. Mark is always a wealth of info... lol, Andrew never should have let him go out on his own. He could use someone with Mark's online skills and follow through.

I try to drink two cups of green tea a day... but I'm not a fan and frequently it doesn't happen although I do take Andrew's EGCG as well. It sounds as though I need to redouble my resolve to drink green tea each day.

Thanks for the link to Mark's article.

I read through the NIH Ceramide link you shared, but I wasn't clear on how zeaxanthin worked into the mix.

@bebe777

I started looking for the zeaxanthin link online before I left for work this morning and it seems that they are used together in products so I'm wondering if they work together or one enhances the other.

I will keep digging.

---

@VaBelle35, lol, you can stop digging.

I just got off the phone with Procaps Labs. I asked the rep about the connection between zeaxanthan and Photoceramides and he had no clue as to what I was talking about. 

I had mentioned that you found this study at the NIH webiste. Clearly he hadn't really listened because he cautioned me to be careful as to which websites I used as a reference. 

I then told him that I had said It was the NIH pub med website... lol, and boy did he feel sheepish.

In any case, it doesn't sound as though zeaxanthin has any direct relevance to whatever Andrew is focusing on.

@VaBelle35, you know, I think you're probably right about that... but maybe you'll get a dose of PPQ at no extra charge.

btw, have you seen the PSB special: Eat Dirt with Dr. Josh Axe. I DVRed it becasue I didn't have the time to give it my full attention but, from the little bit I listened to, it seems  like it has a wealth of information in it.

@bebe777

Thanks for the tip.  I had not heard about that.  I will find it and record it for weekend viewing.

___

When I spoke with the Procaps Labs rep tonight, he told me that there were two very short (4 minutes) PhytoCeramides presentations on Andrew's show calender:

* Sunday, July 10th -- midnight - 1am ET -- at the very end of the show, after the TSV presentation 

* Saturday, July 16th -- midnight - 1am ET -- at the very end of the show, after the TSV presentation 

My note: sometimes the midnight presentation goes a bit long, so if you are DVRing the show then you may want to add an additional 5 minutes just to be on the safe side.

___

I also asked him to let Andrew know that: 

* we would like to have internet broadcasts with Andrew (and that Andrew had mentioned he was going to have one this past June)

* That we really wanted on air segments on Berberine and PPQ... and that some of us probably wouldn't purchase them until Andrew had shared more information about them on air.

just happened on the disussion .  i had looked for phytoceramides from Andrew after reading about them on the Beauty Board a couple years back. 

 "facelift in a bottle" is how they were described on the Doctors and Dr Oz (neither hosts made the claims, there were PS who appeared on the show who did)

this is the Beauty thread:

 they mention there are both wheat based and rice based ceramides . (Andrew offers wheat only)

http://community.qvc.com/t5/Beauty/phytoceramides-it-was-on-Dr-oz/td-p/1200535/highlight/true

Hot & Flashy (youtube ) has a segment on channel about phytoceramides

[HappyDaze]

does anyone know where to get the Marine Collage with MSM that he mentions? The only one showing in the website is the regular Marine Collagen which has no msm.

TIA!
