Today, we say thank you to the ocean. 🌊

Because every drop of BalanceOil+ owes its existence to what happens beneath the surface – and at the very bottom of the food chain, in the tiniest places, is where it all begins.

Marine microalgae produce the EPA and DHA that travel up through small fish, into our omega-3 supplements, and into your daily routine.

For our vegan customers, BalanceOil+ Vegan goes directly to the source – marine algae, sustainably cultivated, no fish required. Certified by The Vegan Society.

🌱 EPA and DHA contribute to normal heart function*
🧠 DHA contributes to normal brain function*
☀️ Vegan vitamin D3 contributes to the normal function of the immune system*

From the ocean, with thanks. 💚

Your legs house the largest muscle groups in your body, such as the quadriceps and glutes. When you subject these massive muscles to intense resistance or explosive movements, they act as an endocrine organ, secreting specialized signaling proteins called myokines directly into your bloodstream.

Myokines successfully cross the blood-brain barrier to trigger the production of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). BDNF acts like a biological fertilizer that supports neuroplasticity, assists in the survival of existing neurons, and stimulates the growth of new brain cells.

As the human body ages, the brain naturally loses volume, particularly in the hippocampus—the region critically responsible for learning and memory. Longitudinal MRI scans demonstrate that individuals with high leg power exhibit a much greater preservation of total gray matter.

Stronger individuals display significantly smaller lateral ventricles (the fluid-filled spaces in the brain that characteristically expand as surrounding brain tissues wastes away). In the Kings College Research, a modest 40-watt increase in baseline leg power equated to an 18% protection against cognitive decline, functionally granting the brain an extra 33 years of cognitive youth.

Also, because lower-body movements require immense energy, training your legs forces your cardiovascular system to optimize its delivery network. Building a highly conditioned lower body permanently improves systemic vascular health, ensuring that your brain receives a robust, uninterrupted supply of blood, oxygen, and vital nutrients decades into the future. This enhanced circulation simultaneously helps clear out metabolic waste and mitigates chronic low-grade inflammation, both of which are primary drivers of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease.

Lifting heavy weights or performing explosive lower-body movements demands an immense amount of neural drive. Your motor cortex has to dedicate vast amounts of neurological “real estate” to successfully recruit and coordinate the massive muscle fibers in your legs. Forcing your brain to generate this high-intensity electrical output acts like a workout for your nervous system.
