Hydrating your
body is key to looking good and feeling good. As we age, it becomes
increasingly more difficult for our cells to absorb water. This leads
to a dry, flaky and dull appearance. When combined, Green Tea Seed Oil,
Grape Seed Oil and Aloe Vera help your cells absorb water, providing
fuller, healthier skin, hair and nails.
Enhancing the
Collagen fibers in our bodies can reduce fine lines and wrinkles,
giving you a more youthful appearance. Over time these fibers weaken
and stretch causing fine lines and wrinkles, even sagging. By combining
Acerola Cherry extract, Horsetail extract and Coenzyme Q-10 you can
properly support your collagen fibers.
Protecting yourself
from environmental pollutants and the long term effects of the sun can
give you an even, smooth and healthy complexion for years to come. GLO
accomplishes this by combining Green Tea Extract with Turmeric and Oats.

What are free radicals, how do they work?
Free-radical damage occurs on an atomic level. Molecules are made of
atoms, and a single atom is made up of protons, neutrons, and
electrons. Electrons are always found in pairs. However, when oxygen
molecules are involved in a chemical reaction, they can lose one of
their electrons. This oxygen molecule that now only has one electron is
called a free radical. With only one electron the oxygen molecule must
quickly find another electron, and it does this by taking the electron
from another molecule. When that molecule in turn loses one of its
electrons, it too must seek out another, in a continuing reaction.
Molecules attempting to repair themselves in this way trigger a
cascading event called “free-radical damage.”
What causes a molecule to let go of one of its electrons, generating free-radical damage?
The answer is oxygen or any compound that contains an oxygen molecule,
such as carbon monoxide, hydrogen peroxide, and superoxide) plus
sunlight, and pollution.
Antioxidants prevent unstable oxygen molecules (made unstable by loss
of one electron) from interacting with other molecules (taking one of
their electrons) and consequently causing them to become unstable, a
process that starts the free-radical chain reaction. Fortunately, a
vast assortment of antioxidants can be found in both the human body and
in the plant world.
So what does that have to do with wrinkles?
No one is exactly sure, but theoretically wrinkles appear when the
free-radical damage originates from natural environmental factors and
fails to be cancelled out by some amount of antioxidant protection. If
we don’t get enough antioxidant protection, either from our own body’s
production, from dietary sources, or from antioxidants, including those
we put on our skin, free-radical damage continues unrestrained, causing
cells to break down and impairing or destroying their ability to
function normally.
Antioxidants ("anti" - meaning against) reduce these harmful effects by
repairing the damage done to these molecules and decreasing their
destructive power.
Ingredient Facts
Your
skin and body deserves the best. That’s why GLO and the Ageless
products use only the finest natural ingredients available. From the
powerful antioxidants in grape seed to the wrinkle-fighting polyphenols
in pomegranate, each ingredient has been carefully selected to soothe
enhance your skin from the inside out.
Grape Seed Oil
The natural anti-oxidants in grape seed extract are said to be 50 times
more powerful than Vitamin E—and even more effective than Beta
Carotene. Even better, these nutrients remain in your bloodstream for
three full days, releasing high levels of proanthocyanidins to
strengthen blood vessels and help improve circulation.
Green Tea Seed Oil Extract
Green tea seed oil is a superb moisturizer, anti-inflammatory, and a
great source of vitamin A, B and E. It also has antioxidant effects due
to the powerful catechin polyphenols, which help fight the damage
caused by free radicals in tissues and cells.
Aloe Vera
Aloe Vera has been proven to penetrate the skin almost four times
faster than water, which helps improve the appearance by giving it the
moisture needed. It is rich in enzymes, protein, vitamin E and C,
anti-microbial, zinc, amino acids, polysaccharids and minerals. It is
also known to repair the skin cells and stimulate the collage and
elastic condition of the skin.
Lecithin
Lecithin is a phospholipid comprised of B vitamins, phosphoric acid,
choline, linoleic acid and inositol. It is also a building block in
cell membranes as it works to protect cells from oxidation.
Lutein
Studies have shown that Lutein increases hydration, elasticity and
lipid levels in the skin. When taken on a daily basis, Lutein can help
reinforce the skin’s antioxidant defense system as well as protect
against damage from the sun’s ultraviolet rays.
Acerola Cherry Extract
This red, sweet and sour berry has thirty times the vitamin C found in
an orange. It is a great antioxidant, and has anti-inflammatory
benefits. Due to its high vitamin C content, Acerola cherries can
increase your body’s ability to repair tissues quickly.
Horsetail Extract
Horsetail is a plant known for boosting circulation and helping in the
rejuvenation of connective tissues due to the bio-minerals contained in
it that are needed for collagen and elastin biosynthesis. The silicic
acid it contains helps strengthen connective tissue.
Coenzyme Q-10
CoQ10 is a powerful antioxidant that protects the body from free
radical damage. It has also been proven to increase collage and elastin
in the skin, and help repair damaged skin cells.
Turmeric Extract
Turmeric has anti-inflammatory properties as well as being an excellent
antioxidant. It’s continued use has shown to decrease the formation of
deep creases and wrinkles, as well as even out skin tone.
Tocotrienol
Tocotrienol is the most powerful antioxidant of the vitamin E family.
Studies have shown that it can prevent skin aging and damage by
oxidative rays as well as helping to maintain and restore a healthy
skin barrier.

Suspension Gel Technology™
Do people actually consume the nutrients that will improve their
health? Everyone starts with good intentions. A few pills here, a glass
of juice there. But before long, pills get bothersome and glass bottles
are less than portable.
How
many times have we asked ourselves, “Now, why didn’t I think of that?”
So often, a very simple idea goes unnoticed as we continue doing things
the same old way, year after year. Nutritional supplements are no
different. For most of the last century, nutritional
supplements—primarily available in pill and tablet form—have gained
popularity. With the availability of each new supplement, we have been
left with the same alternative: swallow one more pill.
What
if we didn’t have to choke down another tablet? What if there was
another option? What if somebody decided to deliver nutrients in a
different form?
Good news!
There’s a fresh new way to consume nutritional supplements, a new
technology known as Gelceuticals™. This delivery mechanism isn’t just
new, it’s better—it will revolutionize the way we take nutritional
supplements and substantially increase the number of individuals who
benefit from nutritional supplementation.
Through
suspension gel technology, our daily nutrients can be taken anywhere,
quickly and easily. Think about it: no glasses, no super-sized pills,
no waterlogged juices, no ineffective sprays and creams—just pure,
concentrated nutrients in an easy to take, readily absorbed, taste
bud-busting gel. Entirely original, the Gelceutical market represents
an untapped arena of wellness. And the landmark realization of the
industry is Agel™. Agel stands at the head of a supplement
revolution—incredible convenience, incredible flavor.
Why is gel technology so much better? Two very important factors influence the efficacy of nutritional supplements:
1) the proper timing of ingestion, and
2) the availability of the nutrients.
Because of these factors, gel technology represents a significant
advance in the method of delivery for vitamins, minerals and other
important food supplements. Gel suspension drastically facilitates
ingestion of food supplements, increasing compliance with nutritional
regimens that would otherwise go unheeded. It provides extreme
convenience and allows for optimal timing of ingestion, thus maximizing
nutritional efficacy. And, it optimizes the availability of the
nutrients that are suspended in gel form in order to maximize their
physiologic effects.
Compliance
At present, many exceptional nutritional products are available in
solid pill and capsule form. Unfortunately, a significant portion of
our population has difficulty ingesting pills and capsules. This
segment, therefore, is unable to realize the benefits of these
nutritional supplements. For some individuals—particularly in the
elderly population—anatomical or neuromuscular difficulties prevent
them from swallowing large pills or capsules. For others, the
difficulty is merely a psychological phenomenon that deters the
ingestion of large solid objects. Whatever the reason, these
individuals miss out on the significant health benefits of nutritional
supplementation.
In
contrast to their pill and capsule counterparts, gel formulations are
typically moist, smooth, flavorful and easy to swallow. By suspending
nutrients in a gel, individuals with swallowing difficulties have a
higher likelihood of easily ingesting nutritional supplements.
Moreover, those with psychological issues related to pills and capsules
will likewise be more inclined to consume gel supplements.
Convenience and Timing
Nutritional supplements are most effective when ingested according to
the optimal timing guidelines for each individual supplement. Some
nutrients are better absorbed when taken with meals. Others are best
when consumed at pre-determined intervals prior to food ingestion in
order to maximize the effect of their active ingredients, or to avoid
conflicting uptake mechanisms with other food particles. Gel
supplements are packaged in convenient gel packs that are highly
portable, allowing availability at the appropriate time—no matter when
it is. In addition, the gel can often be ingested without water,
therefore facilitating optimal timing, even in extreme and unusual
circumstances. By encouraging and allowing the correct timing and
ingestion of food supplements, gel technology enhances the absorption
and utilization of each nutrient.
Bioavailability
The availability of the nutrients in food supplements is of paramount
importance. If nutrients are not available for uptake in the
gastro-intestinal tract, they are essentially useless. Some tablets and
capsules have been well designed and tested to dissolve in the stomach
and are extremely bioavailable. Not all pills and capsules, however,
are created equal. Poorly manufactured supplements in pill or capsule
form are not consistently digested and absorbed. Some are compressed at
extremely high pressures during manufacturing and are not well designed
for optimal dissolution in the stomach. With the introduction of gel
technology, all nutrients remain in their natural state, optimizing
availability, and increasing the absorption and digestion of essential
vitamins and minerals.
In
a nutshell, Gelceuticals™ will change the way we take nutritional
supplements. By increasing the ease-of-use, optimizing timing and
enhancing absorption, gel technology widens the scope of
supplementation™allowing a wider audience to benefit from dietary and
nutritional improvements. The ingredients are ready, available and
packed with all the sheer supplemental power and good taste you’ve been
waiting for.
