14 YEARS after he did that ABC PrimeTime Investigative Report on our breakthrough technology, John is still taking our nrf2 activator.

The aim of the show was to 'de-bunk' our claims, but it did the exact opposite ;)

Have you seen the ABC investigative Report Programme ?
(It even shows the blood of an 80 year old going back to that of a 20 year old)! If not, message me & I will send it to you :)

The Investigative Report had Universities & Institutions from all over the world initiating and funding studies with THEIR own money! As a result of that we now have 26 peer-reviewed studies, available on 'Pub-med' for you to view ! (mind blowing!)

This is one if the many reasons I’m so passionate about sharing both the product & the business.

Now is the time to get involved from a business perspective (new car, need a holiday, a second income, a change of job, to up your retirement fund? etc etc).

From a health perspective, prevention is always better than waiting until you are sick ;)
