0:00.0	My name is Ben Greenfield and on this episode of the Boundless Life podcast. The thing about the mushroom,
0:05.9	right, as I was mentioning earlier, is that in a mushroom, you have 0.03% cortiseptin. So you would have to
0:12.6	eat like a huge amount of mushroom to get anywhere near the amount of cordycebin that we're putting
0:17.7	in these products. In fact, it's the most cortiseptan in any other product out there on the market right now. If you find cortisement out there,
0:24.2	it's typically going to be in sort of mushroom blends, like standardized to a certain amount,
0:29.2	but we went directly the synthesis pathway. So once Dr. Ted did the initial research, we figured
0:34.3	out the power of this thing to work in so many different ways, as we've
0:37.7	been alluding to here, we decided to synthesize it with a lab and make it at a higher
0:42.5	potency that's ever been made, you know, ever before. If you were going to eat the mushroom,
0:46.4	you'd have to have like 80 grams or 150 grams of mushroom itself to get the amount of
0:51.1	cortiseptin that we're putting in in these particular products.

1:20.1	Here's a shocking truth about New Year's resolution.
1:24.5	Whether you want to lose weight or improve your energy or beat that embarrassing post-meal bloat or whatever else was on your new year's list nothing works if your
1:28.2	gut isn't healthy first that's why you need something like just thrive probiotic the reason i talk
1:36.4	about just thrive probiotic is that most probiotics die in your harsh stomach acid before they can do
1:42.1	much good just thrive is the only probiotic clinically proven to arrive in your gut stomach acid before they can do much good. Just Thrive is the only probiotic, clinically proven to arrive in your gut 100% alive.
