Where Science Meets Ageing
Factor5 is a product of research and extensive clinical experience. A true anti-ageing formula addressing:
- Collagen decline/photo-ageing of the skin
- Age-related decline of immune function
- High levels of the stress hormone cortisol
- Abnormal Amyloid-beta clusters in the brain
- Accumulation of age-related cellular ‘junk’
Factor5 combines five highly effective natural ingredients, scientifically formulated to combat the ageing process. 250g
Matcha Green Tea
Organic whole leaf powder that contains EGCG, L-theanine and caffeine. There is approximately 70mg caffeine content per 1 teaspoon (2 grams) of Matcha Green Tea powder vs 260mg for a normal cup of black coffee. The caffeine in Matcha green tea powder is released very slowly due to the presence of L-theanine. It works synergistically with caffeine to boost mood, focus and alertness without that ‘wired’ feeling.
EGCG induces autophagy, a housekeeping process that removes cellular ‘junk’ - a major cause of ageing. It also prevents UV-B collagen breakdown and protects against photoageing, prevents inflammatory neurodegeneration and enhances immune activity with a dramatic effect on T cell function.
Ashwagandha Extract
Potent KSM 66 organic herbal extract, delivers the full benefit of this important herb, known as the ‘Indian Ginseng’. Mediates lifespan extension and effectively promotes stress resistance; a potent anti-pigmentation agent; induces major immune cell activation.
Reishi Extract
The ‘Mushroom of Immortality’ has high levels of polysaccharides and triterpenes. It induces autophagy and promotes cell death in unhealthy cells; It also has neuroprotective effects and prevents the harmful effects of Beta-amyloid in the brain; Effectively balances the immune system and stimulates NK cell activity.
Cauliflower Mushroom
Fruiting body containing the highest ß-glucan levels yet found in any mushroom.. Dramatically reduces facial water loss and improves wrinkle formation; inhibits allergic inflammation and modulates the immune system.
Snow Fungus Extract
Hot water extract with high levels of polysaccharides. Maintains skin moisture; prevents break down of micro-vessels for improved blood flow to skin; protects against nerve cell damage in the brain; improves function of impaired cognitive processes; inhibits inflammation via balancing of the immune system; increases white blood cell levels.
Directions
Mix 2 teaspoons (4 grams) thoroughly with juice, coconut or almond milk first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. An additional 1 teaspoon can be taken later in the afternoon on an empty stomach. Use a handheld milk frother or handheld electric whisk for a really smooth mix!
