Dear Living Well Daily Reader,
When it comes to aging, there’s some things you should be proud of.
Your gray hairs represent the struggles you’ve fought and won… your wrinkles represent all the laughter and smiles of your best days…
But when you think about the occasional pain you face, there’s no positive way to spin it.
It’s just downright annoying.
After all, who likes saying slow down to their grandkids… or telling their spouse, “I’m sorry I just don’t feel up to dancing.”
And no matter how many good days you have, the bad ones still nag at you.
But now it’s time to take a different approach.
Researchers have discovered an exciting “starfish molecule” that can help soothe your pain on those bad days in a surprising way.
The answer to soothing occasional pain isn’t applying a band-aid solution. You need to go deeper.
You’re probably familiar with the miracle of the starfish. If it loses a limb, it simply regrows a new one.
And believe it or not, the way this pain-healing molecule works is eerily .
It all begins with a woman named Rita Levi-Montalcini.
This cutting-edge research scientist turned a long-abandoned concept into the foundation for a medical wonder… and won the Nobel Prize for Science when she did.
Her research revolved around something called Palmitoylethanolamide (or PEA for short).
Don’t be fooled by the complicated name—the way it works is quite simple.
As I’m sure you’ve learned by now, many problems with your body come from inflammation.
That’s why just treating the pain itself will get you nowhere… you have to go to the source.
You see, inflammation is triggered by something known as mast cells or “pain cells”… and they’re found all throughout your body and make up your immune system.
And even though they’re meant to protect you, these cells can also trigger inflammation.
But PEA can help with that chain reaction.
It essentially sends a “signal” to pain cells… that turns them down.
And it’s the main ingredient in my colleague Dr. Gerhauser’s new formula Terpacanol.
You see, since 1993, PEA has been tested on more than a dozen different types of pain… including sciatica, low back pain, fibromyalgia, diabetic pain, neuropathic pain, and pain due to osteoarthritis.
But that’s not all… a recent study showcases just how powerful PEA can be.
The study involved 111 men and women with osteoarthritis in the knee. To be included in the study, people had to report that their pain was a 4 out of 10 or worse.
These men and women were then split into 3 groups: one got 300mg of PEA, the second took 600mg of PEA, and the third received a placebo.
Researchers used the widely respected WOMAC scale, which measures overall pain, stiffness, and ability to function.
Each day during the study, they also asked participants to report their “worst pain” on a scale from 1-10.
By the end of the 8-week study, the participants reported that their pain had decreased by an average of 57 percent!
But there’s more…
How many times has your pain kept you up at night? Dr. Gerhauser chose something to help you with those restless nights as well.
It’s a unique blend called VRL-3… and it can help support your joints while you sleep.
Now the question is, where can you get this astounding supplement?
It’s simple. All you have to do is CLICK HERE to order your own personal supply of Terpacanol.
So if you want to take advantage of the warm weather… go on long walks on the beach… play catch with your grandkids… Terpacanol could be your best bet.
P.S. You’ll want to hurry—supplies are limited and we could sell out fast. CLICK HERE to secure your supply of Terpacanol.
