The coffee killer is here. Paraxanthine appears to be the ultimate caffeine alternative. Better effects, fewer drawbacks, and more consistency. I've personally enjoyed experimenting with it, so I found the team responsible for bringing this ingredient to market.
Meet our guest
Daniel Solomons is the CEO and Co-founder of a new caffeine-free energy drink, Update - the world's first energy drink to use paraxanthine (enfinity) the primary metabolite of caffeine that gives you all the positive effects from caffeine without any of the side effects. For over three years, Daniel and his team of scientific partners thoughtfully formulated Update such that every dose is backed by peer-reviewed scientific studies.
Shawn Wells has formulated over 1000 supplements, food, beverages, and cosmeceuticals and patented 25 novel ingredients including Paraxanthine, Teacrine, Dynamine and Dihydroberberine and is now known as the Ingredientologist - the scientist of ingredients. Formerly a Chief Clinical Dietitian with over a decade of clinical experience, he has counseled thousands of people on innovative health solutions such as keto, paleo, fasting, and supplements. He has also personally overcome various health issues including Epstein-Barr Virus, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, depression, insomnia, obesity, and a pituitary tumor.

Science is uncovering miraculous powers of molecular hydrogen (H2). But did you know it has a far superior relative called Brown's Gas? This gas brings all bodily systems back into optimal health. Despite what you may have heard about Brown's Gas (AKA Oxyhydrogen or HHO), this gas is also quite safe.
Meet our guest
George Wiseman has changed entire industries with his innovations. George started working with Brown's Gas in 1986, creating practical machines to apply this amazing gas in applications such as Fuel Saving, Torch-Fuel Gas, and Radioactive Neutralization. He's recognized worldwide and renowned for the practical applications of Brown's Gas.

Immune health and rapid wound regeneration have become touchy topics. Although it has a long history of safe & effective use, newer research has highlighted potential dangers of using colloidal silver supplements. I wouldn't touch most products. Today, we're discussing the one exception. A product cleared by the FDA for use in hospitals due to its safety and effectiveness. It beats out conventional options like antibiotic creams, all without the downsides.
