Homemade Electrolyte Drink

Making your own electrolyte drink is a healthier, more cost effective way of keeping up with summer hydration when water just isn’t cutting it. It is also a great way to flavor your water for those who just don’t crave plain water.

Many sports drinks have artificial colors, flavors, and are heavy on sweeteners. By making it at home, you’ll know your ingredients, can customize to your preferences, and save money.

Basic Electrolyte Drink Recipe:

2 cups water (or coconut water, cooled tea, etc.)
1/8 tsp pink Himalayan se salt
Juice from 1/4 – 1/2 lemon
1-3 tsp local raw honey
1 capsule Genesis BioHealth Magnesium emptied (optional)
Ice cubes (optional)

Directions:

Run for a few seconds in a blender. Alternatively, use slightly warm liquid and shake vigorously to dissolve before adding ice. Serve cold.

Tips:

Experiment with other flavors and add-ins like stevia, lemon/lime, orange, pineapple & coconut water, a splash of apple cider vinegar, and herbs like mint and basil.
This may taste saltier if left overnight, but keeps up to a week. Make sure to shake any leftovers vigorously, or add more water.
Easily doubles or triples for a party.
Freeze this mixture into ice cubes, then simply add water.

Taurine & Weight Loss

Our Magnesium formula is unique in the market, optimized to provide the body with a wide basket of nutrients and broad health benefits. About 40% of the formula is devoted to Magnesium Taurate for its ability to improve cardiac function, improve insulin sensitivity, and reduce hyper-excitability for the nervous system. In addition to taurine’s long list of well established health benefits, research is now emerging that shows it can also help with weight loss. The combined value of our synergistic ingredients, including a healthy dose of vitamin C, is the “secret sauce” that produces markedly different health results in our clients. We use four different fully reacted magnesium complexes, each with excellent bioavailability to help ensure effective absorption and minimal GI impact:

Magnesium Taurate
Magnesium Bisglycinate
Magnesium Citrate
Magnesium Ascorbate

We compound these materials to better mimic mother nature’s diversity. The formula aids absorption, balances digestive impact, and offers the body a variety of important resources towards boosting cellular metabolism. Each of the various organic portions bound to magnesium work together and are used by the body to support a healthy metabolism.

Don’t take our word for it. Try it yourself! Shop now.

Supplements for Acne

If you struggle with acne, you should know that it’s possible to reverse it naturally – without chemicals or drugs!

Did you know that many traditional cultures eating ancestral diets did not have words in their language for acne? This is because they didn’t suffer from it. Acne is largely a more modern ailment that is largely associated with inadequate nutrition and toxin/waste processing.

Vitamin K2-MK4 with C, D, A, Magnesium, Essential minerals, and Glutathione not only help fight aging on a cellular level, but they also support clear skin! Acne is caused from within and should be treated from within. People with clear skin show higher levels of these various nutrients and antioxidants. In fact, many modern prescription acne medications are based on derivatives of vitamin A, often called “retinoids”. Acne severity often worsens as levels of key nutrients decrease and food-borne antinutrients increase.

Our families personally struggled with cystic acne before we started using the Regenesis Protocol. As a result, we have witnessed severe teenage cystic acne dramatically reduce in 60 days and adult cystic acne breakouts stop.

How these micronutrients help with acne:

Preventing root causes of acne
Reducing the number and severity of breakouts
Balancing hormones, which are one root cause of acne
Decreasing incidence of clogged pores
Reducing the inflammatory response (redness, swelling)
Reducing the incidence of scarring from acne
Healing from acne outbreaks
Protein formation to maintain healthy skin cells
Facilitating skin cell turnover
Clean up free radicals causing cell damage
Improve metabolic waste clearance in liver and kidneys vs. skin

What the Research Shows on Supplements, Antioxidants, & Acne:

Vitamin K2 is essential for skin health and acne prevention. K2 promotes protein formation and other cellular processes that maintain healthy skin cells. This helps prevent acne breakouts and reduces the incidence of acne scarring.
K2 and D3 have been shown to balance hormones which are a root cause of acne.
50% of people with acne are shown to have a vitamin D deficiency compared to 23% of those that don’t have acne. Even adding 1000 IU’s of D3 per day for 2 months was shown to decrease the appearance of acne lesions in those that were deficient.
Vitamin A is used as a supplement for acne by dermatologists because it regulates the body’s ability to shed dead skin cells, helping to keep pores clear of sebum. It is also a powerful antioxidant helping to minimize swelling and redness in inflammatory acne breakouts.
Magnesium and Calcium taken together can reduce inflammatory acne symptoms and facilitate skin cell turnover and waste clearance, decreasing the incidence of clogged pores.
Small amounts of Zinc with Magnesium can help treat acne. Studies show that patients treated with Zinc noticed a decrease in active breakouts compared to those who didn’t. Also, Zinc helps with wound healing that helps minimize acne scarring.
Individuals with a copper deficiency convert testosterone to dihydrotestosterone which promotes the production of sebum leading to acne. Copper, through its involvement in the formation of several key enzymes, is not only involved in the release of energy inside the cell but also contributes to the function of many antioxidants that mop up the free radicals that cause cell damage.
In 2013, researchers in Saudi Arabia showed there is a clear correlation between acne severity and inflammatory damage. They also looked at antioxidants glutathione and superoxide dismutase. These materials help neutralize free radicals and other inflammatory molecules.
People with clear skin show higher levels of these antioxidants. Conversely, these antioxidant levels drop as acne gets worse.
In 2012, an Iraqi placebo-controlled study showed that antioxidant supplementation can reduce acne by 50%. The study showed there is a correction between glutathione levels and acne severity. As the antioxidant level drops, the number of pimples goes up. They had 4 groups of individuals including one with a placebo, one with milk thistle, one with NAC and one with Selenium. After 8 weeks, the groups with milk thistle and NAC showed a reduction in pimples (NAC stimulates the production of Glutathione). The group with selenium supplementation also showed improvement but it was slower.
