What Is AIO Premium Health?

What is AIO Premium Cellular Health?


AIO is a liquid nutritional supplement developed for adult stem cell health. AIO was developed by Ceregenex, inc. in conjunction with NeoStem, a leading adult stem cell collection and research laboratory. Update: Ceregenex was recently acquired by bHIP Global

Some Benefits Believed to Stem from AIO
• Provide Essential Nutrients*
• Deliver Powerful Antioxidant Support*
• Support Heart Health, Adrenal and Cardiovascular Functions*
• Support Joint and Bone Health*
• Optimize Stem Cell Functions*
• Nourish Cellular Longevity*
• Encourage Cellular Energy*
• Supports DNA Repair and DNA Protection*
*These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.

AIO was developed from the studies that state certain Nutraceuticals optimize stem cell functions. In the nutrition industry, much has been focused on fighting oxidative stress with little efforts towards cell repair, once oxidative stress has been fought.
AIO Premium Cellular Health completed the effort by creating a nutritional supplement that we believe fights oxidative stress and optimizes stem cell functions. The supplement is blended into an all natural fruit puree that tastes delicious.
AIO Premium Cellular Health is a nutritional innovation that combines the best of nature and science to optimize cellular health. This unique, proprietary formula is delicious, powerful and concentrated. Only one to four ounces each day provides a concentrated source of nutrients, antioxidants and phytonutrients.
AIO harnesses the power of nature in its purest form and the breakthroughs in scientific discovery. AIO helps to nourish the healing and restorative nature of our bodies. AIO can help to protect the cardiovascular system, support immune functions and optimize adult stem cell functions. Plus, it’s fast acting and great tasting!
AIO Stimulates the Proliferation and Growth of Healthy Stem Cells
AIO was designed to help optimize and enhance stem cell functions. Stem cells are the the repair system of your body. The more stem cells you have and the better they function, the greater the ability your body has to heal itself. Essentially, AIO will stimulate the growth of healthy stem cells and optimize their repairing, healing and regenerative powers.

Is AIO just another hyped fruit juice like Xango or Monavie?


NO! AIO is not a juice… it’s the only nutritional supplement of its kind – Seriously! Other “juices” provide only the juice from the fruit. AIO is a puree of the entire fruit so you get the nutrition and benefits from the skin, the seeds, and all parts of these powerful gifts of nature. They have so much more to offer than just their juice.


AIO is based on real science and was developed and overseen by some of the greatest minds in anti-aging and regenerative medicine.
With anti-aging and regenerative properties, AIO unlocks your greatest potential for cellular renewal, repair, and regeneration.

What are the ingredients in AIO?

AIO is loaded with super fruits like Acai, Pomegranate, Blueberry, Acerola, Amla, Camu Camu, Mango, and Dark Cherry. With just under 14,000 mg of whole fruit in each ounce, AIO packs a powerful punch of Antioxidants. Research shows that Antioxidants act as a natural antibiotic and can provide your immune system with support to fend off disease and infection.
AIO is also filled with anti-aging and cellular breakthroughs like Resveratrol, Vitamin d3, and Niacin.
And just recently, Ceregenex (bHIP) added another life enhancing ingredient called AC-11®, which Protects and Repairs DNA naturally at the Cellular Level. 
What is AC=11?

AC-11® Protects and Repairs DNA naturally at the Cellular Level. DNA is the only thing in your body that can repair itself over and over.
AC-11® is a proprietary, patented water-soluble extract of Uncaria Tomentosa, an herb that grows in the Amazon rainforest.
AC-11® is the ONLY product available worldwide containing this unique patented class of CAE actives.
Studies show that the CAE’s in AC-11® significantly enhance the body’s natural ability to repair its own damaged DNA, enhances immune system function, promotes a healthy response to inflammation and improves the appearance of the skin
AC-11® measurably improves collagen production in the skin.
AC-11® has positive Neurogenic effects.
No other Uncaria Tomentosa product can make these claims. No other natural products can make these precise claims. AC-11® is a breakthrough in how we can effectively maintain the integrity of our DNA and a healthy and functional gene expression.

Ultimately, AIO will make you healthy, it will make you feel better, and will give your body the power of regeneration and repair.
Those who have used and are using AIO are experiencing amazing results.
Give yourself the gift of health, give yourself the gift of AIO. Order your AIO today.

     Experience the Highest Antioxidant Fruit In The World!

    Antioxidants are substances that neutralize free radicals, the damaging compounds produced by metabolism and exposure to toxins and radiation. Free radical damage causes most of the changes we associate with aging, and it can lead to inflammation, cardiovascular and nervous system damage, impairment of immune function, and even cancerous changes in cells.

    The level of antioxidant activity in a food or supplement is measured by its ORAC score. The higher the ORAC score, the more potent the antioxidant activity. The following graph shows the extraordinary antioxidant strength of the Maqui berry compared to other superfruits.

    AIO Premium Cellular Health

    Restoring and maintaining cellular health.
    Image
    AIO Premium Cellular Health is a unique, proprietary formula that combines the best of nature and science. Developed by Ceregenex, AIO Premium Cellular Health is a broad-spectrum, liquid nutraceutical dietary supplement. It was conceived and developed from studies which state that certain nutraceuticals can help repair human DNA and optimize adult stem cell health. AIO was created to help:

    • Provide essential daily nutrients.
    • Support the heart and cardiovascular system.
    • Support joint and bone health.
    • Decrease inflammation.
    • Deliver powerful antioxidant support.
    • Support immune system functions.
    • Prevent damage to DNA.
    • Provide DNA repair capacity.
    • Optimize adult stem cell health.

    The delivery system for AIO is an all-natural puree of “super fruits” that are rich in potent antioxidants. (Antioxidants have been shown to quench free radicals and prevent oxidative stress, a leading cause of cell damage.) Each ounce of AIO provides 13,250mg of whole fruit, including Acai, Pomegranate, Blueberry, Acerola, Amla, Camu Camu, Mango, and Dark Cherry.
    AIO synergistic blend of ingredients also includes Resveratrol, Vitamin D3, and AC-11®, a patented, all-natural extract of a tropical plant known as Uncaria tomentosa. Pure, bioactive AC-11® is the only plant extract in the world that has been shown, through extensive research studies, to stimulate the body’s natural DNA repair process. Studies state that the repair of damaged DNA plays the key role in the health and function of adult stem cells, our body’s natural repair mechanism.




    Activar Skin Renewal System


    The future of skin care technology.
    Image
    Activar® Intensive Repair with AC-11® is the most technologically advanced, anti-aging skin care formula available. In data supported by over 13 years of scientific and clinical research and development, AC-11® has been shown to help the body’s natural ability to repair DNA, essential to the regeneration of skin damaged by the sun’s ultraviolet rays, pollution, stress and numerous other factors. Activar® formulations put AC-11® to work in synergy with potent antioxidants, effective skin brightening, hydrating and other proven anti-aging ingredients that will rejuvenate, repair and restore the youthful radiance of your skin.
    Intensive Day Repair with AC-11®
    Activar® Intensive Day Repair with AC-11® has been specially developed to combat the physiological and environmental factors that attack the skin during the day to cause premature signs of aging. Our unique formula contains effective ingredients to help prevent oxidative damage, reduce the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, imperfections and enlarged pores while complementing the reparative qualities of AC-11®.
    Youthful and luxurious-looking skin is maintained by Actyphyte of Japanese Green Tea Cone and White Tea Extract. The skin’s cellular health and metabolism – which can be undermined by daytime stressors such as lifestyle, fatigue, tension and pollution – are additionally enhanced by the presence of Lipocol C and Liponate GC. The skin’s inherent reparative mechanisms are increased by Vitamin A Palmitate, a normalizer of cell function superior to retinol in stability. Willowbark Extract provides the benefits of a ß-hydroxy acid without risk of irritation while further augmenting cell renewal capabilities. Argireline smoothes the skin and blocks neural signals that activate wrinkle development. Activar® Day Repair formula with AC-11® is the perfect blending of naturally effective sciences for the skin.
    Intensive Night Repair with AC-11®
    Activar® Intensive Night Repair with AC-11® shares many of the renewing, anti-aging and rejuvenating properties of the Day Repair formula. Intensive Night Repair’s rich combination of AC-11® together with Lipocol C, Liponate GC, Actyphyte of Japanese Green Tea Cone and White Tea Extract in a luxurious moisturizing base of squalene and Hyaluronic Acid provides the ideal “nighttime companion” to our Intensive Day Repair solution. Actyphyte of Japanese Green Tea Cone is especially effective in the nighttime formula, as it both reduces skin irritation and scavenges free radicals, thus complementing AC-11®, to help further reduce the cellular damage accumulated during the day. But we also enhance Night Repair to super-moisturize your skin as you sleep and combat the problem of nighttime dehydration. As with Day Repair, the Night Repair formula includes Argireline to smooth wrinkles. Plus, Cuiridone is added to shrink pores. To augment Night Repair’s calming properties, we use a special base of natural lecithin that form liposome, the most common phospholipids found in all layers of skin.
    Day and Night Formula Results:
    • Promotes a healthy cellular profile in to reduce premature aging due to photochemical (sun) damage, stress and pollution
    • Enhances the skin’s natural ability to repair DNA
    • Visibly reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
    • Restores the glow, suppleness, firmness and youthful appearance of the skin
    • Helps reduce age spots and blends skin discoloration
    • Helps diminish large pores
    • Hydrates the skin
    • Provides potent anti-oxidants
    Intensive Eye Repair with AC-11®
    Activar® Intensive Eye Repair combines AC-11® with specially selected skin-enhancing ingredients to optimally soothe and reduce puffiness of the tender skin surrounding the eyes.
    Rich in agents such Aloe Barbadnesis Gel (Lily of the Desert), Shea Butter, Proline, Pentavitin, Deliner™, and MDI Complex®, Activar® Intensive Eye Repair is a perfectly balanced formulation for your most sensitive skin areas around the eyes. Synergized with these ingredients are a complex of additional regenerating elements such as Pentavitin, a patented moisturizer containing naturally occurring carbohydrates (more effective and lighter than glycerin); Deliner™, a moisturizing agent and activator of cell migration and multiplication (to help reduce depth of wrinkles and smooth the skin); and MDI Complex, an active ingredient that helps inhibit the breakdown of collagen by matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) enzymes, giving the skin a younger and firmer appearance. The potent combination of these ingredients will improve the appearance of dark circles under the eyes, “iron out” wrinkles (crow’s feet), hydrate the skin, and insure the integrity of the DNA in the skin surrounding your eyes.
    Eye Repair Formula Results:
    • Helps reduce puffiness and dark circles.
    • Promotes healthy cellular profile in response to premature aging due to photochemical (sun) damage, stress and pollution.

    An In Depth Look At The Ingredients In bHIP And It's Benefits

    bHIP Energy Ingredient Stack

    bHIP Energy Ingredient Stack
    Disclaimer:� All statements on this page have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. They are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Consult a qualified health care practitioner before taking any substance for medicinal purposes.
    Calories:� 24
    The average American Calorie Intake varies on average from 2,000 - 4,000 daily.� The bottom line with daily calorie intake is if you eat more calories than you expend, you will gain weight.� Back in 1909 we ate mostly (57%) carbohydrates (starches) and less fat (32%). In 1985 we were eating mostly fats (43%) and less carbohydrates (46%). That trend has reversed by 1994 and we are eating more carbohydrates (51%) and less fat (33%).� Today’s challenge is people spend too much time sitting in front of the television and computers while continuing to eat as if they lead an active lifestyle.�� The result is an obese nation plagued with heart disease, diabetes, chronic fatigue syndrome and other avoidable disorders.
    Calories 12 Oz Coca-Cola = 155��� |��� Calories 12 Oz Pepsi = 150
    A bHIP Energy Drink can greatly assist in providing a pure source of energy with minimal calorie intake.
    Fiber:� 1 gram
    Generally, a person should consume 1 gram of fiber for every 100 calories or approximately 20 - 40 grams of fiber per day. Fiber is the indigestible carbohydrate found in plant cell walls and is either soluble or insoluble. Soluble fiber acts like a gel and insoluble fiber ads bulk to or softens stool. A healthy fiber content of the diet can be achieved by eating fruits, vegetables, beans and whole grains. Also, when eating whole grains, increase your fluid intake as insoluble fiber absorbs fluid from your intestines.
    1 gram of fiber per bHIP Energy Drink is a great addition to one’s daily fiber intake.
    Vitamin C (ascorbic acid)� 300 mg
    The U.S. RDA for ascorbic acid ranges between 100�120 mg/per day for adults. Many health benefits have been attributed to ascorbic acid such as antioxidant, anti-atherogenic, anti-carcinogenic, immunomodulator and prevention of�colds, etc.� Stress, smoking, alcoholism, fever, and viral infections cause a rapid decline in blood levels of ascorbic acid.� There is no scientific evidence to show that even very large doses of vitamin C are toxic or exert serious adverse health effects.
    Higher levels of Vitamin C are needed when under environmental stress such as trauma, fever, or infection. Full saturation is reached with daily intakes of 200-500 mg per day (in 2-3 divided doses). This is a water-soluble protein, and anything in excess is excreted by the body.
    Niacin (Niacinamide)� 40 mg
    The U.S. RDA for niacin is 20 milligrams per day.� Niacin, a water-soluble vitamin, helps the body release energy from protein, fat, and carbohydrate during metabolism.
    Special Note Regarding ‘Niacin Flush’:
    Niacin, by nature, is a great way of reducing your cholesterol. Many over-the-counter cholesterol medications include high does of niacin, among other ingredients. One effect that may arise from ingesting supplement niacin is what’s called ‘niacin flush’.
    Niacin causes�the capillaries (small blood vessels) in your body to get wider (bigger). The capillaries are usually extremely small, and blood passes through them very slowly. The inherent problem with this is that capillaries are the main way for your body to rid itself of toxins. Your arteries, in comparison, are much larger than capillaries and can carry more blood and at a faster rate, but they do not come near the majority of your body. Arteries are the “highways” of your body, and capillaries are more like the small town road that you exit off of the highway from in order to get to your house. Your house, in this example, would be a cell somewhere in a remote part of your body that is full of toxins. Without sufficient blood flow (oxygen and everything that comes along with it), this cell cannot rid itself of its toxins. Now, imagine your city widening the road that leads by your house — the traffic would increase. The same is true for your capillaries. They will carry more blood - at a faster rate. The end result is that your cells now have more blood to rid themselves of toxins throughout your body as the capillaries get wider.
    How does this relate to niacin flush?� Niacin causes the capillaries to get bigger, and the end result is the “flush”. The increase in size of your capillaries causes, in some cases, a redness on your skin in the areas that it is occurring. This is the first part of niacin flush. The second reaction of niacin flush is the tingling and occasional itch that comes along with it. This itch is actually a healthy response. The reason you are experiencing this itch is because the niacin has allowed more blood to reach your cells to remove toxins from them. As toxins are carried away and your cell becomes healthier, it is finally able to “call” your body for help. Your body responds by sending what is called a histamine to the cell. Histamines cause you to itch, but they also allow your body to send more water, blood, and nutrients to the area that called them.
    In summary, niacin flush is actually a very healthy reaction from your body. You shouldn’t be alarmed when you get it; actually the very opposite - it means your body is healing itself. You’ll notice that after a certain dosage of niacin, eventually you will not receive the niacin flush any longer. Once you up the dosage, you may experience it again. Your doctor can recommend a good healthy dosage for you.
    Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine Hydrochloride)� 20 mg
    The U.S. RDA varies between 1.3 mg and 2.0 mg, depending upon age and gender.� Vitamin B6 is a water-soluble vitamin that exists in three major chemical forms: pyridoxine, pyridoxal, and pyridoxamine. It performs a wide variety of functions in your body and is essential for your good health. For example, vitamin B6 is needed for more than 100 enzymes involved in protein metabolism. It is also essential for red blood cell metabolism. The nervous and immune systems need vitamin B6 to function efficiently, and it is also needed for the conversion of tryptophan (an amino acid) to niacin.
    Hemoglobin within red blood cells carries oxygen to tissues. Your body needs vitamin B6 to make hemoglobin. Vitamin B6 also helps increase the amount of oxygen carried by hemoglobin. A vitamin B6 deficiency can result in a form of anemia that is similar to iron deficiency anemia.
    Individuals with a poor quality diet or an inadequate B6 intake for an extended period may benefit from taking a vitamin B6 supplement if they are unable to increase their dietary intake of vitamin B6. Alcoholics and older adults are more likely to have inadequate vitamin B6 intakes than other segments of the population because they may have limited variety in their diet. Alcohol also promotes the destruction and loss of vitamin B6 from the body.
    Folic Acid� 400 mcg
    The U.S. RDA for folate is 400 micrograms per day.� Folate is a water-soluble B vitamin that occurs naturally in food. Folic acid is the synthetic form of folate that is found in supplements and added to fortified foods.� Folate helps produce and maintain new cells. This is especially important during periods of rapid cell division and growth such as infancy and pregnancy. Folate is needed to make DNA and RNA, the building blocks of cells. It also helps prevent changes to DNA that may lead to cancer. Both adults and children need folate to make normal red blood cells and prevent anemia. Folate is also essential for the metabolism of homocysteine and helps maintain normal levels of this amino acid.
    Vitamin B12 (Cyanocobalamin)� 120 mcg
    The U.S. RDA for vitamin B-12 is 6 micrograms per day.� Vitamin B12 helps maintain healthy nerve cells and red blood cells. It is also needed to help make DNA, the genetic material in all cells. Vitamin B12 is also called cobalamin because it contains the metal cobalt.
    Vitamin B12 is bound to the protein in food. Hydrochloric acid in the stomach releases vitamin B12 from proteins in foods during digestion. Once released, vitamin B12 combines with a substance called intrinsic factor (IF). This complex can then be absorbed by the intestinal tract. Characteristic signs, symptoms, and health problems associated with vitamin B12 deficiency include anemia, fatigue, weakness, constipation, loss of appetite, and weight loss. Deficiency also can lead to neurological changes such as numbness and tingling in the hands and feet. Additional symptoms of vitamin B12 deficiency are difficulty in maintaining balance, depression, confusion, dementia, poor memory, and soreness of the mouth or tongue.
    Vitamin B12 is required by the body to maintain healthy nerve cells and red blood cells and is also needed to make DNA, the genetic material in all cells. B12 is one of eight water soluble B vitamins all of which help the body convert carbohydrates into glucose (sugar), which is a primary energy source for the body. Vitamin B12 also works closely with vitamin B9 to regulate the formation of red blood cells and to help iron function better in the body.
    Sodium� 10 mg
    The US sodium RDA 2400 mg.� bHIP Energy Drink has a very low level of sodium.
    Americans consume far too much sodium, putting them at risk for high blood pressure, heart disease, and stroke. Sodium is used to regulate blood volume and blood pressure. Sodium aids in the transmission of nerve impulses and�is used to help regulate the acid/base balance in the body.� Common signs of excess sodium include high blood pressure, fluid retention, and swelling.� About 11 percent of the sodium in the average U.S. diet comes from adding salt or other sodium-containing condiments to foods while cooking or eating. But the majority of the sodium � 77 percent � comes from eating prepared or processed foods that contain the mineral. So even though you may limit the amount of salt you add to food, the food itself may already be high in sodium.
    A lower sodium intake has a beneficial effect on blood pressure.
    If you are older than 50, are black, or have a health condition such as high blood pressure, chronic kidney disease, or diabetes, you may be more sensitive to the blood pressure raising effects of sodium. As a result, aim for a sodium intake at the low end of the range recommended for healthy adults.
    Amino Acids
    The 20 amino acids are alanine, arginine, asparagine, aspartic acid, cysteine, glutamic acid, glutamine, glycine, histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, proline, serine, threonine, tryptophan, tyrosine, and valine.
    Amino acids are the building blocks of protein. The sequence of amino acids in a protein and, hence, the function of that protein are determined by the genetic code in the DNA.

    Malic Acid
    Malic acid is a naturally occurring compound that plays a role in the complex process of deriving adenosine triphosphate (ATP; the energy currency that runs the body) from food.� Malic acid is found in a wide variety of fruits and vegetables, but the richest source is apples, which is why malic acid is sometimes referred to as �apple acid.�
    Guarana
    Guarana extract is derived from the seeds of a small red fruit grown on large shrubs found in the Brazilian Rain Forest.
    Guarana is one of several energy producing ingredients�and contains a substance known as theobromine, which is similar in chemical composition to the molecules found in chocolate. This is a natural occurring caffeine�and gives a very nice, level, non-jittery energy.� bHIP is a natural formula that works faster, lasts longer, and is healthier for you.
    One of the main ingredients in guarana extract is a form of caffeine called guaranine. Unlike caffeine, guaranine is slow to release and doesn�t give the initial quick burst of energy and then the quick let-down. Since the seed is fatty and not water-soluble, it is not quick to absorb in the body, so the energy boost will escalate over a number of hours instead of all at once. This makes the active ingredients in guarana more beneficial for the body.� Guarana extract is reported to increase mental alertness, help to fight fatigue, and increase stamina and endurance. Millions of people believe it also helps to overcome fatigue, helps to fight against premature aging, and detoxifies the blood.� In the United States, guarana holds a �Generally Regarded As Safe� (GRAS) status from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). A 1998 toxicology study showed that guarana is nontoxic even at a dose of 2 grams of guarana per kilogram of body weight.

    Ginseng Root Extract
    Ginseng is one the best known and widely prescribed herbs in Chinese medicine as a general adaptogenic and restorative tonic for just about any problem. Approximately 29 ginsenocides, known by their scientific name “tripterpenoid saponins” and also sometimes called panaxosides, have been identified in ginseng root. These ginsenocides have been demonstrated to have a powerful function as an adaptogen, invaluable in helping the body adapt to and recover from the effects of stress, disease, and fatigue. They also contain a strong anti-oxidant component that has been shown in clinical studies to aid in combating the effects of aging. Additionally, saponins are analgesic, anti-inflammatory, anti-convulsant, and a regulator of blood sugar levels, cholesterol levels, and blood pressure.� Ginseng also contains several steroid compounds, including panaxtriol. The steroid components contained in ginseng are remarkably similar to anabolic steroids found naturally in the human body. While this makes ginseng root ideal for athletes and body builders looking for safe natural alternatives to anabolic steroid use, it is considered wise for pregnant women to avoid prolonged ginseng use. However, it is recommended to women for treatment of post-menopausal symptoms.� Recently it has been discovered that germanium is also a component of whole ginseng root, which has a powerful dehydrogenating effect and is considered beneficial and essential to proper bodily function, especially in organs such as the liver.
    Maca Root Extract
    Maca is considered by researchers to be a true ‘adaptogen’.� An adaptogen is a substance which raises the non-specific resistance in an organism.� Adaptogens enable the body to enhance its power of resistance and adapt to external conditions.� They work with the bodies natural rhythms to help rebuild week immune systems, re-mineralize poorly nourished bodies, and increase energy and endurance.
    Some reported benefits of maca include: Increased energy and endurance; Improved sexual function in men and women; aids in alleviating depression, gives a sense of well being, reduces anxiety; has a beneficial action on the circulatory system; speeds wound healing and reduces anemia; has a beneficial action on the circulatory system; gives skin a more youthful appearance.

    A powerful anti-oxidant.
    White Willow Bark Extract
    White willow bark is used for conditions that cause pain, inflammation, or fever, such as: Acute back pain, fever, flu, joint pain, osteoarthritis, pain. People take white willow bark instead of aspirin because it does not appear to be as irritating to the stomach lining. It may be because the salicin found naturally in white willow bark is only converted to the acid form after it is absorbed by the stomach.� Researchers have also suggested that white willow bark is more effective than aspirin because of other active compounds that are found in the bark but not the drug.
    Acai Berry Extract
    The predominant beneficial substances in the acai berry are polyphenols, flavonoids, mostly of the anthocyanins and proanthocyanidins categories.� The dark purple skin of the acai berry has many times the anthocyanin content as red wine. The acai berry has shown powerful anti-oxidant properties and also contains two essential fatty acids known as Omega 6 (Linoleic Acid) and Omega 9 (Oleic Acid).� Research shows that Omega 6 helps lower LDL, which is the harmful cholesterol.� Omega 9 fatty acids also assist in lowering LDL while assisting in maintaining HDL (beneficial cholesterol) levels.
