Description
The Membrosia Complex was developed by Dr. Peter D’Adamo to help achieve the optimal ratio of fatty acids and phospholipids. When taken together, the two components (Membrosia Complex and Membrosia Fluidizer) maintain healthy cell membrane nutrition, helping to support healthy aging and the control of free radicals.
Revolutionary blend of nutrients designed to support the health of your cell membranes
All cells in our body are surrounded by a double layer of lipids (fats) that serve to keep the cell protected from outside threats, help maintain the internal (intracellular) environment, and serve as a point of attachment for the various receptors cells use to communicate and react as part of larger structures, such as tissue and organs. Like magnets, lipids have a charge and can either repel or attract each other based upon how they are oriented. In our cell membranes, this takes the form of phospholipids (fats bonded to the element phosphorus) with their ‘heads’ pointing outward and their ‘tails’ pointing inward. This unique ability allows the cell to control its internal environment, independent of outside events. This is especially important with how the cell keeps itself hydrated since oil and water do not like to mix. Healthy cells typically have a higher concentration of water than there is in the surrounding exterior environment.
For the Fluidizer:
However, Dr. D’Adamo has provided us with a simple ‘home-brewed’ version of the Fluidizer that you can use with Membrosia Complex.
His recipe, which makes 8 ounces, is below:
- Cod Liver Oil: 4 ounces
- Olive Oil: 2 ounces
- Walnut Oil: 2 ounce
Dr. Peter D’Adamo:
“You can ‘hot rod’ this basic formula by adding 1 tsp of either Perilla or Black Cumin Oil to the above recipe.”
Dr. Peter D’Adamo:
“The major difference between a young and healthy body and an older or sick one is the percentage of water inside the cells versus the percentage of water outside. Healthy tissues will have up to 65% of their water contained inside their cells. As we age, or deal with illness, the lipids in the cell membrane begin to lose their fluidity, the cell membrane begins to change, and the cell can no longer hold onto water effectively. “
