The Anti-Inflammatory Kings

by Glen Depke

If you follow me regularly, you will recognize the recent focus on chronic inflammation. I have often discussed some supplements that have a powerful effect on kicking you out of the chronic inflammatory states the plague so many in our culture.

When I learned more about the chronic inflammatory cycles and the power these two supplements have over this I felt as if I had found the holy grail. It really was that powerful to me!

From a personal standpoint, to lose over 10 pounds of inflammation in my body and walk away from 3 decades of knee pain...need I say more?

Well, here they are Tumero Active and Reservo Active!

Reservo Active is designed to provide a concentrated source of resveratrol in an emulsified micronized structure with syringe delivery to support healthy immune mechanisms, gastrointestinal health, and cardiovascular health.‡

Tumero Active is designed to provide a concentrated source of curcumin in an emulsified micronized structure with syringe delivery to support healthy immune mechanisms, a normal biotransformation process, a healthy mucosal-induced immune response, and key antioxidants.‡


These emulsified liquid are approximately 4-6 times more potent that taking these in a capsule form and the synergy of the two supplements together provides a significant amplified benefit. 


The challenge though, is that these are not available on- line...at least not legally. With this said, availability of these potential life altering supplements is limited to clients of Depke Wellness.


To create a non-committal entry into Depke Wellness, we are currently offering a complimentary 20 intro consultation. This is your avenue to find out more about the Depke Wellness protocols as well as information on these two powerful supplements. Register here for your complimentary session. This is limited to new clients only.

What the Heck is Glutathione?

by Glen Depke

Really, what the heck is glutathione?

I know you have all heard that a picture is worth one thousand words, so all you have to do is look at the pictue to the right here and you will see what glutathione really is. Let me guess, this did you know good whatsoever? I get that seeing the element formula for glutathione does most no good at all.

So what would help?

Maybe a definition? OK, here you go. Glutathione is a sulfur containing, water soluble endogneous tripeptide composed of 3 amino acids. I get it, still no help.

Instead of looking at the elements or getting into a scientific definition, let's look at this simply. Glutathione is a primary anti-oxidant that is produced in your body that actually enhances the benefit of every other anti-oxidant. In my practice I focus on glutathione levels to significantly improve auto-immune issues, inflammatory challenges, gut barrier breakdown, blood/brain barrier breakdown, chronic pain and so much more. Understand that this ties into so much more. Beside for my focus in my clinic, here is a list of  function that depend on adequate glutathione levels.
  • Anti-aging
  • Cardiovascular health
  • Cell regeneration
  • Digestive issues
  • Kidney function
  • Eyes/vision
    • Prevent cataracts
    • Recovery of eye surgery
  • Protects hair follicles
  • Immune system
  • Metabolism
  • Nervous system function
    • Alzheimer's
    • Depression
    • Parkinson's
    • Schizophrenia
  • Enhances absorption of essential minerals
  • Natural detoxifier
  • Protection against damages due to aspirin and NSAIDs
  • Protection against the damage due to alcohol consumption
  • Protection against the toxic effects of smoking
With this said, I trust that you understand the importance of adequate glutathione levels in your body.

Let's now discuss what inhibits the production of glutathione. First of all cooking destroys all glutathione levels in your foods and it is also important to understand that glutathione is basically unavailable bio-chemically as a supplement.

Here is a list of substances that interfere with glutathione.
  • Cadmium deficiency 
  • Excessive copper and iron
  • Hydrogen peroxide destroys glutathione
  • Excessive consumption of polyunsaturated fatty acids
  • Helicobacter pylori
  • Mercury toxicity
  • Aspirin and NSAID use
  • Excessive sun exposure
  • Intense exercise or endurance exercise
  • Alcohol consumption
  • Severe stress
So what is a person to do? Glutathione is so important, much of what we do in life depletes our bodies ability to produce glutathione and it is so poorly absorbed as a supplement. My recommendation is to increase the nutrients needed to produce glutathione which is N-acetyl cysteine and L-glutamine. There are also other ingredients that enhance this production. I also recommend using a cream for vascular absorption of glutathione. I find that the combination of increasing the underlying nutritional components as well as the vascular cream goes a long way in substantially increasing your glutathione levels.

Krill-Plex Supplement


Krill-plex is a unique source of omega-3 fatty acids, phospholipids and antioxidants; for menstrual comfort, heart health, joint support, cognitive function and skin health

Krill oil is unique in that it offers a naturally occurring complex of omega-3 and omega- 6 fatty acids, phospholipids and astaxanthin. This phospholipid-fatty acid molecule closely resembles that of human brain phospholipids, providing potential support for cognitive function The essential fatty acids in krill oil may also mediate hormone, prostaglandin, and neurotransmitter function to support menstruating women. A double blind, randomized clinical trial suggested that krill oil promoted physical and emotional well being during the menstrual cycles of women volunteers. Krill oil also provides an ideal essential fatty acid balance for healthy cardiovascular and platelet function. A prospective phase II randomized, double blind, clinical trial suggested that krill oil supports healthy lipid, triglyceride and glucose metabolism. A prospective controlled pilot clinical trial reported that krill oil supplementation helped promote joint flexibility and comfort. In addition, a randomized, controlled pre-clinical trial investigated the effects of krill oil on skin health and reported that it supports the body's natural defenses against the sun and environment.

Krill oil naturally contains a highly bioavailable essential fatty acid­phospholipid complex and antioxidants, providing optimal support for menstrual comfort, cardiovascular function and cognitive, joint and skin health.

I would recommend ordering the 120 count bottle which will last you four months.
