Your Mind Is in Your Hands

Set the stage for pursuing your personal happiness. Each new day presents challenges that, if not met and overcome, may leave you less mentally fit to control your life.

Now there’s a way to insure against the consequences of falling short of your goals and to offer you more control over your life.

By starting each day with a cool, refreshing glass of delicious LIFT™(or LIFT CAPS™), or Mind™, you can embrace a Mental Fitness™ program that can blow away your neural cobwebs and lift away the stressful storm clouds that may hold you back.*

Life extension scientists Durk Pearson & Sandy Shaw® have developed a family of products for their own personal use based on the idea of providing our brains with nutrient raw materials to manufacture neurotransmitters such as noradrenaline, which provides an adrenaline-like charge to neural circuits.* These BRAIN DRINKS are the core of Durk & Sandy’s personal Mental Fitness program. Each formulation contains the essential amino acid phenylalanine and the necessary enzyme cofactors vitamin B6, vitamin C, copper, and folic acid, along with natural flavors. With these BRAIN DRINKS as your daily allies, you can take charge of your life. So have a glass . . . Your mind is in your hands.

Themes to carry forward

Notice

Start with the pattern you can actually see

Energy, sleep, digestion, mood, movement, and recovery all leave clues. Paying attention to the pattern makes the next step more useful.

Simplify

A smaller routine is easier to keep

Choose one or two habits that fit your real week. Food quality, hydration, movement, sleep, and stress recovery usually matter before complexity.

Support

Match supplements to a specific priority

A focused supplement routine works best when it supports a clear goal and sits alongside the basics you already repeat.

LIFT CAPS™ is the convenient, capsulated form of LIFT™.
Rita C. 2/5/2015- I’m taking the Lift Caps and - they’re amazing! It gives me so much energy, and I am on my feet, working and talking 9 hours a day. With the Lift Caps - what a difference people see! I’m just so happy to have my brain, body and mind back!

Matt 11/07/2015- LIFT is wonderful...without a doubt! It's a regular part of my day and my performances.

Cindy  4/03/2014- I have been taking Lift Caps for over 10 years! They give me lots of energy and stop my craving for coffee, soft drinks and chocolate too! I LOVE THEM!

Ruth 9/23/2014- I like the LIFT because I think it gives me just what I need. I work 8 hours a day, sometimes more, with kids at school, and I just have to have the Lift in the morning. I don’t get as tired during the day when I drink it - it just works for me. I think I’m getting everything from it!

Tony 5/6/2015- LIFT helps me in the morning. I used to drink energy drinks, but this is healthier and does the same job.
