Carl discusses the 3 ingredients that work so well together for sleep and stress support that another larger supplement company just introduced the same combination (spoiler alert: theirs costs about 40% more than our product).

If you’re worried about bone health, it’s likely you’ve been told to increase calcium or magnesium intake. But the real culprit may be another mineral – plant silica.

Silica gives us silicon, which helps energize bone formation and contributes to great looking hair, skin and nails. Unfortunately, our diets typically only give us about half the amount of silicon linked to good bone health.

In this episode Carl reviews the best way to increase silicon intake from supplements, which is from the plant silica found in bamboo shoots.

Tune in to hear what your target intake for silicon should be, and why bamboo shoots can be so valuable for strong bones and beautiful hair, nails, and skin.

Today's episode covers a ground-breaking dietary fiber star called Solnul™, a resistant starch born from Canadian potatoes and the genius of sustainable upcycling. Carl is joined by Jason Leibert of MSP Starch Products Inc., the producer of Solnul™, and together they peel back the layers to reveal how this previously wasted resource is changing the fiber game and enriching our diets.

Even if you’re getting enough fiber in your diet, you’re likely not getting an optimal amount of the powerful resistant starch fiber found in Solnul™ – and Jason reveals why.  Better yet, research is finding Solnul™ offers benefits associated with both insoluble and soluble fiber.

Plus, you’ll hear how the prebiotic activity of Solnul™ goes beyond the more well known types of beneficial bacteria in the gut and may be the first fiber supplement to show an increase in beneficial Akkermansia bacteria in the intestines, which emerging research is finding can help support gut, metabolic and blood sugar health, and weight management.
