Why is there Xanthan gum in Sunset? Because it not only helps treat and manage diabetes, but we help a lot of people with celiac disease who must avoid a protein called gluten so we had to choose the better ingredient for aver all health and substance.

Why are there 2 different potassiums in the noni? The potassium sorbate and potassium benzoate are added to help maintain shelf life not as a source of potassium. Each source offers a different support to ensure that there are no bacterial growth in the product

 

Fructose in Sunrise: Fructose derived from Sunrise not be confused with corn sugar or high fructose corn syrup. Corn sugar and high fructose corn syrup contain fructose and glucose in almost equal amounts-similar to cane sugar most people consume as table sugar.

Through a refining process, the supplier provides a pure fructose, which has unique nutritive properties that make it desirable for use in Sunrise. First, pure fructose is the sweetest of all naturally occurring carbohydrate sweeteners-sweeter than sucrose that is found in most food applications. Because of its high sweetness, we are able to use less fructose to achieve the same sweetness thereby lowering the calories per Sunrise serving. Also, fructose has a low glycemic index and does not cause the commonly experienced surges and dips associated with other sweeteners such as sucrose and glucose.

What is the benefit of Hyaluronic acid? or its sister ingredient sodium hyaluronate, Hyaluronic acid is a molecule that occurs naturally in the skin, helping bind water to collagen, trapping it in the skin so that skin can appear plumper and more hydrated. Sodium hyaluronate is a water-soluble form of hyaluronic acid created by scientists to more easily penetrate the skin.

Why are these molecules so important? As we age, we naturally lose collagen and hyaluronic acid, so the skin becomes dehydrated more easily. Harsh weather, heaters during the wintertime, certain skin-care products, and underlying skin conditions can magnify this problem by causing tiny breaks in the protective skin barrier that allow water to escape. That's why a skin-care regimen with premium quality moisturizing products can be extra beneficial.

Hydrating skin-care ingredients including sodium hyaluronate, hyaluronic acid, glycerin, and the botanical extracts used in Fleuresse act as humectants that attract water to the skin in an effort to hydrate it. The best choice for a timeless appearance is including premium quality products in your beauty routine, possibly containing sodium hyaluronate in their formulation.

Both Fleuresse Night Crème and Fleuresse Eye Crème contains sodium hyaluronate, to help you firm the skin around the eye area, increase moisture to get rid of puffiness, and soften fine lines on the rest of the face. Sodium hyaluronate penetrates easily, which is why it works so well when applied topically. The proprietary form of sodium hyaluronate we use in Fleuresse is specifically engineered to have a low molecular weight for maximum bioavailability.

Additional perks of hyaluronic acid and sodium hyaluronate include their ability to lock in moisture from the environment and deeper dermis to fully hydrate the skin. They are also great for all skin types, and in general both ingredients are non-irritating and do not trigger acne, rosacea, or allergic skin reactions.

Palm Oil Question: Kyäni has several global formulas that contain an extract from palm oil. None of Kyäni products with palm oil contain glycidyl fatty acid esters or GE.

Kyäni uses the highest quality molecular distillation process available. This low temperature, high pressure process preserves and concentrates the phytonutrients without any chemical reaction. Our palm oil does not go through a physical refining-high temperature process like most products, as this process produces GE and degrades most of the phytonutrients. This molecular distillation provides the purest form of nutrients without contamination or impurities.

In addition, Kyäni uses only palm oil products that are Green Palm Certified or Green Palm Sustainability. Kyäni only supports sustainable ingredients and suppliers.

What is the “natural Flavor” in the sunrise Question: This is a blend of Tropical flavors from Natural Berries.

SUNSET  Radiation Question: In the past we have had individual sources of our omega's tested for IFOS certification. We are currently in the process of having Sunset as a whole certified by IFOS. Also, on every batch we test our products independently to ensure it is free of radiation, and dozens of other contaminants and heavy metals. Purity is a priority on every single bottle backed by the Kyäni promise. IFOS is just one certification group, and not the only or even the most qualified certification group. Making sure a product is as safe and pure as possible is always our number one goal.

Kyäni goes above and beyond by certifying the salmon by the Marine Stewardship council as free from impurities and by following FDA's hazard analysis and critical control points program to ensure high standards!

We are also IVO certified. Here is a link to their certification process and standards. https://ivopure.org/ivo-testing-practices/

Is Kyani approved by the FDA? FDA only approves Rx medications. The FDA has certified GMP guidelines which nutritional companies have to follow. This is a law. Our products are produced in facilities which are cGMP manufacturers. They are certified by the FDA to manufacture Kyäni products. That is one of the reasons we have been able to register our products in over 60 countries because they are tested for purity and contaminants which cGMP facility is required to do. So we don't need any more approval because we have all certifications which are required by FDA to produce our products

Why take sunset at night? Lipid soluble supplements are most effective when taken with the last meal of the day or at bed time because it will utilize the good fats from your foods throughout the day and help deliver the benefits of the supplement into every cell and tissue also helping the release of growth hormones while we enter R.E.M. sleep, which is healing sleep

What is nitric oxide and how does it work? Some people think it's the gas that makes us laugh at the dentist office. Some think it's the fuel racecar drivers use to speed up their cars. But it's neither. Nitric oxide is a molecule that our body produces to help its 50 trillion cells communicate with each other by transmitting signals throughout the entire body.

Nitric oxide has been shown to be important in the following cellular activities:

* Help memory and behavior by transmitting information between nerve cells in the brain

* Assist the immune system at fighting off bacteria and defending against tumors

* Regulate blood pressure by dilating arteries

* Reduce inflammation

* Improve sleep quality

* Increase your recognition of sense (i.e. smell)

* Increase endurance and strengthAssist in gastric motility

There have been over 60,000 studies done on nitric oxide in the last 20 years and in 1998, The Nobel Prize for Medicine was given to three scientists that discovered the signaling role of nitric oxide.

Nitric oxide and heart disease Nitric oxide has gotten the most attention due to its cardiovascular benefits. Alfred Nobel, the founder of the Nobel Prize, was prescribed nitroglycerin over 100 years ago by his doctor to help with his heart problems. He was skeptical, knowing nitroglycerin was used in dynamite, but this chemical helped with his heart condition. Little did he know nitroglycerin acts by releasing nitric oxide which relaxes narrowed blood vessels, increasing oxygen and blood flow.

The interior surface (endothelium) of your arteries produces nitric oxide. When plaque builds up in your arteries, called atherosclerosis, you reduce your capacity to produce nitric oxide, which is why physicians prescribe nitroglycerin for heart and stroke patients.

Nitric oxide and erectile dysfunction Viagra and other impotence medications work due to their action on the nitric oxide pathway. One cause of impotence is unhealthy and aged arteries that feed blood to the sexual organs. Viagra works by influencing enzymes in the nitric oxide pathway, causing a cascade of enzymatic reactions that enhance nitric oxide, causing more blood flow and better sexual health.

How to increase nitric oxide in your body The most common way to increase nitric oxide is through exercise. When you run or lift weights, your muscles need more oxygen which is supplied by the blood. As the heart pumps with more pressure to supply the muscles with blood, the lining in your arteries releases nitric oxide into the blood, which relaxes and widens the vessel wall, allowing for more blood to pass though. As we age, our blood vessels and nitric oxide system become less efficient due to free radical damage, inactivity, and poor diet, causing our veins and arteries to deteriorate. Think of a fire hose as water rushes through it to put out a fire - it needs to expand enough to handle the pressure, still keeping enough force to put out the fire. Athletes and youth have the most optimal nitric oxide systems, reflecting their energy and resilience.

Another way to increase nitric oxide is through diet, most notably by consuming the amino acids L-arginine and L-citrulline. Arginine, which can be found in nuts, fruits, meats and dairy, directly creates nitric oxide and citrulline inside the cell (diagram 1). Citrulline is then recycled back into arginine, making even more nitric oxide. Enzymes that convert arginine to citrulline, and citrulline to arginine need to function optimally for efficient nitric oxide production. We can protect those enzymes and nitric oxide by consuming healthy foods and antioxidants, like fruit, garlic, soy, vitamins C and E, Co-Q10, and alpha lipoic acid, allowing you to produce more nitric oxide. Nitric oxide only lasts a few seconds in the body, so the more antioxidant protection we provide, the more stable it will be and the longer it will last. Doctors are utilizing this science by coating stents (mesh tubes that prop open arteries after surgery) with drugs that produce nitric oxide.

Nitric oxide for athletes and bodybuilders: Increasing nitric oxide has become the new secret weapon for athletes and bodybuilders. Athletes are now taking supplements with L-arginine and L-citrulline to support the flow of blood and oxygen to the skeletal muscle.

They also use them to facilitate the removal of exercise-induced lactic acid build-up which reduces fatigue and recovery time. Since arginine levels become depleted during exercise, the entire arginine-nitric oxide - citrulline loop can lose efficiency, causing less-than-ideal nitric oxide levels and higher lactate levels. Supplements can help restore this loop allowing for better workouts and faster recovery from workouts.

With nitric oxide deficiencies due to aging, inactivity, smoking, high cholesterol, fatty diets, and lack of healthy foods-increasing your nitric oxide levels can help increase your energy, vitality and overall wellness. The basic adage of eating well and staying active all makes sense now. — with Ayheza Newell Ezrin.

Who is our product formulated by? Our products were formulated by members of our SAB in collaboration with other scientists and nutritionists.

Why we don't have sunscreen in our products? Natural sunscreens are an actual physical block that would provide some matte color, that would be undesirable in a moisturizer. I personally would never buy a moisturizer that contain sunscreen because I want my moisturizer to penetrate, but I don't want those chemicals to penetrate.  The chemicals are usually a photocarcinogen, they attack DNA cells and produce free radicals after penetrating the skin. Aside from that, the regulations on sunscreens are ever-changing and vary from country to country so it would be impossible to stay on top of that. Most brands of sunscreen are loaded with chemicals, and all of these chemicals are absorbed into your skin and into your body. Many people are switching to all natural, chemical free sunscreens.  The synthetic chemicals often used in sunscreen preparations can get into your bloodstream and can cause all sorts of unwanted toxic side effects, including hormone disruption. Brush On Block contains the naturally-occuring active sunscreen ingredients titanium dioxide and zinc oxide, to provide full-coverage, invisible, natural mineral sunscreen that you simply brush on. No more messy, greasy lotions, sticks and sprays. It offers a fast, convenient and effective way to protect everyone's skin from the sun during all their everyday activities.  This one is very popular with men and athletes as well. When you sweat it doesn't sting your eyes.
