It’s difficult to drink enough water each day. We’re busy at home or at work and simply forget to stop to drink a glass of water.
The scary thing is that insufficient water intake is one of the biggest causes of accelerated, premature aging…
Lack of water can lead to early onset wrinkles, dull skin, lack of energy, dysfunctioning kidneys, loss of muscle mass, weak immune system, and slower metabolism…
And when we age… our neuroendocrine controls (how your brain communicates with the endocrine system) that regulate the salt and water balances in our bodies degrade, making us more prone to dehydration.[1-2] The endocrine system is a vital part of the body that signals the brain to tell you whether or not you are thirsty. Studies have also shown that as you get older, you simply don’t feel as thirsty… despite your body needing more hydration.
But the GOOD news is that this can all be easily prevented by drinking enough water, and one of the best ways to remind yourself to drink more water is by carrying a water bottle wherever you go.
Here at Rejuvenation Therapeutics, we created an eco-friendly, stainless steel water bottle that is free of BPA and phthalates to help you drink more water. Our water bottle is also insulated and 100% recyclable.
By bringing a water bottle around, you are not only reducing plastic water bottle waste, but also will consciously drink more water so you can feel better, healthier, and rejuvenated.
The standard rule of thumb is that each day you should be drinking about 104 ounces (13 cups) of water for men and 72 ounces (9 cups) for women.[3] But remember, more is always better!
The only filler we use in our supplements is organic potato starch, so you get more of what you want without the unnecessary excipients
We use only the best ingredients and materials for our entire product. Inside, our vegan-friendly, vegetable capsules contain pure and high-quality ingredients with minimum excipients. This means you get more of the pure ingredients that you want, and less of the extra fillers, to maximize the benefits you expect.

Vitamin K is a group of structurally similar, fat-soluble vitamins that the human body requires for complete synthesis of certain proteins that are prerequisites for blood coagulation. The body also needs these proteins for controlling binding of calcium in bones and other tissues. Vitamin K includes two natural vitamers: vitamin K1 and vitamin K2. Vitamin K1 is made in plants and algae; green leafy vegetables are a particularly rich source. On the other hand, bacteria generate vitamin K2, which can also be found in meat, dairy, eggs, and fermented foods, such as cheese, yogurt, and natto—a Japanese dish of fermented soybeans
Vitamin K2 or menaquinone, is essential for calcium use, helping build strong bones and inhibiting arterial calcification.[1] It has nine related compounds, generally subdivided into the short-chain menaquinones (with MK-4 as the most important member) and the long-chain menaquinones, of which MK-7, MK-8 and MK-9 are nutritionally the most recognized.
Studies have shown that supplementation with K2MK7 can reduce vascular calcification in patients with CAD, and decreases arterial stiffness post-menopausal women.[2, 3] An adequate intake of vitamin K2 has been shown to lower the risk of vascular damage because it activates matrix GLA protein (MGP), which inhibits the deposits of calcium on the walls.
In another study on K2MK7 for rheumatoid arthritis, in the MK-7 treated group, a marked decrease in RA clinical and biochemical markers was observed.[4]
Vitamin K, particularly as vitamin K2, is present in very little amounts even in a healthy Western diet. Vitamin K deficiency results in inadequate activation of MGP, which greatly impairs the process of calcium removal and increases the risk of calcification of the blood vessels. An increased intake of vitamin K2 could therefore lower calcium-associated health risks. Vitamin K2 is most active as the MK-7 form, which is present in natto. Research has shown that increased consumption of MK-7 leads to more activated osteocalcin, which is linked to increased bone-matrix formation and bone mineral density and, therefore, a lower risk of hip fracture.[5, 6] Those results were confirmed in a 3-year study with 944 women aged 20 to 79 years, which showed that intake of MK-7-rich natto was associated with the preservation of bone mineral density.[7] One recent, double-blind, randomized clinical trial investigated the effects of supplemental MK-7, MenaQ7 (NattoPharma ASA, Hovik, Norway), within a 3-year period for a group of 244 postmenopausal women. The researchers found that a daily dose of 180 mcg was enough to improve bone mineral density, bone strength, and cardiovascular health.[8]

Lipoic acid (also called α-lipoic acid, alpha lipoic acid (ALA) and thioctic acid) is a potent antioxidant made by the body. It is found in every cell, and is essential for aerobic metabolism (converting glucose into energy).
Antioxidants attack “free radicals,” waste products created when the body turns food into energy. Free radicals cause harmful chemical reactions that can damage cells, making it harder for the body to fight off infections. They also damage organs and tissues. While other antioxidants work only in water (such as vitamin C) or fatty tissues (such as vitamin E), alpha-lipoic acid is both fat and water-soluble. That means it can work throughout the body. Antioxidants in the body are used up as they attack free radicals. But evidence suggests alpha-lipoic acid may help regenerate these other antioxidants and make them active again .[1]
Oxidative stress has been implicated as a causal factor in the aging process of the heart and other tissues. Antioxidants like alpha-lipoic acid target the factors that damage these cells and reverse their effect, making these antioxidants very powerful alternate strategies for the treatment of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases as well as neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s disease.[2-4] Clinical studies on alpha-lipoic acid have shown several benefits including increasing sensitivity to insulin, lowering blood sugar levels and maintaining healthy nerve function. Its ability to kill free radicals may help people with diabetic peripheral neuropathy, who have pain, burning, itching, tingling, and numbness in arms and legs from nerve damage. ALA supplementation has been shown to reduce BMI, weight and blood pressure in obese people. In addition to supporting healthy glucose metabolism, the antioxidant properties of alpha lipoic acid promote healthy vascular and blood vessel function.[5-7]
Lipoic acid is present in many foods, but slightly more so in kidney, heart, liver, spinach, broccoli, and yeast extract. However, naturally occurring lipoic acid is not readily available from dietary sources and is found in very low amounts. ALA supplementation is therefore a good way to get higher amounts of this powerful antioxidant in the body.
Clinical studies found that an optimal daily dosage of Alpha lipoic acid would be between 600-1,200 milligrams daily for diabetes and neuropathy. For healthy adults an optimal daily dose would be 100 mg for antioxidant purposes.

Amaranth is obtained from Amaranthus dubius, also called Red Spinach, Chinese Spinach, Yin choy, Hsien tsai, Hon-toi-moi, Araikeerai, Cheera, Chauli, Ptee, Terere or Telele. The plant originated in South America and was introduced to Asia, Africa and Europe. It is commonly used as a leafy vegetable in Southeast and South Asia and Africa. In traditional African medicine it is used as a herbal medicine.[1]
The edible portion of amaranth leaves can contains in 100 gm of leaf about 84 gm of Water, 176 kJ (42 kcal) of Energy, 8.3 gm of Carbohydrates, 4.6 gm of Proteins, 1.8 gm of Fibers, 0.2 gm of Fats, 410 mg of Calcium, 103 mg of Phosphorus, 8.9 mg of Iron, Vitamins such as 64 mg of Vitamin C, 1.2 mg of Niacin, 0.42 mg of Riboflavin, 5716 μg of β-Carotene and 0.05 mg of Thiamin, and Minerals such as Nitrates and Oxalates.[2, 3]
The protein content analysis of Amaranth leaves shows proteins such as Glutelin, Prolamin, Globulins, Albumin and other Amino Acids in Amaranth.[4]
Amaranth is a rich source of Vitamin C, which can be beneficial for cardiovascular health. Vitamin C supplementation can decrease systolic and diastolic blood pressure in patients with mild hypertension.[5, 6] Vitamin C can reduce plaque buildup in healthy adults by preventing adherence of White Blood Cells (WBCs) to blood vessels in patients with low plasma Vitamin C.[7] Vitamin C can increase good cholesterol High Density Lipoprotein (HDL) in women.[5] Vitamin C can lower triglycerides, Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL), fasting blood glucose levels, serum insulin and HbA1C in patients with Type II diabetes.[8] Vitamin C is also known to boost the immune system and reduce the frequency of common cold.[9]
Vitamin C has antioxidant effects in smokers, cancer patients, and exercise induced oxidative stress. Vitamin C supplementation helps reduce the oxidative stress on skeletal muscles caused by exercise and attenuate the protein oxidation caused by exercise, thus resulting in reduced muscle soreness and improved muscle function.[10, 11, 12] Vitamin C can reduce plasma C Reactive Proteins (CRP) in smokers, and because CRPS can be involved in atherosclerosis, Vitamin C use can indirectly help reduce atherosclerosis in smokers.[13] Vitamin C and Vitamin E combination taken together by smokers can reduce oxidative stress induced DNA damage in the blood cells caused by smoking.[14] Vitamin C may lower the toxicity of chemotherapy drugs in esophageal cancer patients, in gastritis patients supplementation with Vitamin C reduces the risk of gastric cancer, and a combination of Vitamin C with molybdenum was found to be protective against esophageal cancer in a long term study.[15, 16]
Apart from the benefits of Vitamin C present in Amaranth, there are other additional benefits to taking Amaranth one of which is the rich protein content of the supplement, which can be a protein source for athletes.[2, 3, 4] Studies with Amaranth showed an increase in nitrate and nitrite levels post ingestion, which can be beneficial as an energy boost for athletes.[17, 18]
Amaranth is a rich source of proteins, vitamins and minerals that can have cardio-protective, anticancer, immunity, energy boost, and other benefits.[2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 15, 16, 17, 18]
Currently there are no known side effects of Amaranth.[19] In elderly men undergoing strength training high dose of Vitamin C and Vitamin E taken together can decrease the bone mineral density improvement from strength training.[20]
Pregnant women, nursing women, and individuals with hematologic disorders including thalassemia, anemia, cancer or glucose-6-phosphate deficiency should consult a physician before using supplements with Vitamin C.[21, 22, 23, 24] World Health Organization does not recommend use of Vitamin C supplementation during pregnancy.[24]. Patients taking Simvastatin and niacin should consult their physician and monitor their cholesterol levels when taking Vitamin C, since the HDL levels can increase with concurrent use of the three.[23]
