In today’s email we cover IBS avoidance/mitigation, amphetamines, and glutathione.
From the age of about 30, most people lose about 1% of their collagen per year. That may not sound like a lot, but if you want to live to 120, there are unfortunate implications. So, topping up can be useful.
However, not all collagens are created equal; there are multiple types, and it is best to get a combination of types 1–5. Today’s sponsor, Organixx, have exactly that: click here to see!

Incomplete Collagen?
There are multiple kinds of collagen (helpfully called type 1, type 2, type 3, etc), and it can make a big difference if you get them all:

Amphetamines: The Drug That Works Too Well?
Developed to allow soldiers to continue fighting without sleeping; now mostly used for treating ADHD, amphetamines run the gamut from methamphetamines (potent, addictive), to non-methylated amphetamines (e.g. ADHD meds such as Adderall, Vyvanse, etc), as well as drugs generally considered quite different, like MDMA (“Ecstasy”).
So, what’s helpful and what’s dangerous?

A Word From Our Sponsor
Is your neck drooping, hair dry and flaky or maybe your nails are getting brittle? These are WARNING signs that you’re collagen-deficient, and it’s going to get worse if you don’t do something about it.
Believe it or not, collagen deficiency strikes nearly everyone over the age of 30. Because after 30, you start losing 1% of collagen per year.
And that’s no good because… the fact is, collagen is the glue that holds your body together. Without it your body literally starts falling apart (FAST!). So if you have those signs, it's time to act, now, not later.
A lot of people turn to expensive collagen powders for help. Only problem? They're pretty useless, for a reason…
Because they are INCOMPLETE. They are missing 4 of the 5 MOST important types of collagen. These 5 "super collagens" work TOGETHER to support glowing skin, gorgeous hair and thick, healthy nails.
Fortunately, there IS one collagen powder that is truly complete. And works. It's got ALL 5 "super collagens". Plus, it's loaded with a special vitamin that fully activates the collagen inside your body.
It’s the most powerful combination of collagens out there, and you deserve to find the one that works best for you!
To your health!

One-Minute Book Review
The Glutathione Revolution: Fight Disease, Slow Aging, and Increase Energy with the Master Antioxidant – by Dr. Nayan Patel
At 10almonds, we’ve written about glutathione before: Glutathione: More Than An Antioxidant ← here we talk about its benefits, both the usual and the unique
…but that was an article, and this is a whole book, so naturally it contains a lot more information.
It covers: what exactly glutathione is, what our body needs in order to make it, and how we can get it from other sources. Also, what our body uses it for (which is: pretty much everything, directly or indirectly), and what happens if we don’t have enough—after the age of about 20, our ability to produce it can start to falter rather; the extent of this depends on our lifestyle.
We learn: how to leverage this to improve our systemic health in all parts, as well as slowing down aging, increasing our energy, and rejuvenating our skin.
For those who like to be taken by the hand through a process, there is a 14-day plan to boost glutathione levels, as well as several variations on that (and instructions on which to choose per your circumstances).
The style is moderate pop-science; a similar level of simplicity/complexity to what you read here at 10almonds. It’s also well-referenced with a very respectable bibliography.
Bottom line: glutathione is an oft-underrated health consideration, and a lot can be improved by being aware of it and making some tweaks that favor it rather than deplete it.
