Primary Benefits of dōTERRA’s MetaPWR™ Advantage

MetaPWR™ Advantage may help sustain vigorous metabolic activity, to promote youthful function of cells and organ systems.*

It contains nine types of collagen tripeptides, which clinical research has shown to boost skin appearance by promoting skin density, increasing firmness, decreasing wrinkles and improving hydration.*

It includes vitamin C, which promotes collagen biosynthesis.*

MetaPWR™ Advantage contains ingredients that promote a healthy circulatory system, nervous system and mitochondria.*

It supports the healthy bone function.*

It includes NADH and additional ingredients that help maintain healthy mental and physical function and performance.*

It contains NMN and resveratrol, which preclinical research has shown to increase amounts of NAD+ and NADH in the body.*

MetaPWR™ Advantage contains NMN and resveratrol, and though more clinical research is needed to confirm initial findings, pre-clinical studies suggest metabolic health is bolstered by increasing NADH and NAD+ production in the body and activating the SIRT longevity genes.*

What Are NAD+ and NMN?

Nicotinamide mono nucleotide, or NMN, is a vital precursor in the biosynthesis of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, or NAD+, which is a coenzyme found in every cell of the body.

While NAD+ serves numerous functions, the most critical are metabolic processes and mitochondrial function.  NAD+ converts food into energy and offers protection to your cellular energy factories.  Without sufficient NAD+ levels, cells can’t generate the energy to survive and carry out their functions.  By the time you reach age 50, NAD+ levels are generally half of what they were at age 20, contributing to health challenges, like difficult weight management and decreased energy levels.

Preclinical studies suggest supplementing with NMN may increase NAD+, leading to more youthful functioning of cells and body systems, but more clinical research is needed to confirm initial findings.*   MetaPWR™ Advantage is formulated with yeast powder NMN to help naturally increase NAD+ and NADH levels in your body!*

What is NMN?

NMN stands for nicotinamide mononucleotide, a molecule naturally occurring in all life forms.  At the molecular level, NMN is a ribo-nucleotide, which is a basic structural unit of the nucleic acid RNA.

Structurally, the NMN molecule is composed of a nicotinamide group, a ribose and a phosphate group (Figure 1). NMN is the direct precursor of the essential molecule nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) and is considered a key component to increase NAD+ levels in cells.

What is NAD+?

NAD+ is an essential coenzyme required for life and cellular functions.  Enzymes are catalysts that make biochemical reactions possible.  Co-enzymes are ‘helper’ molecules that enzymes need in order to function.  NAD+ is the most abundant molecule in the body besides water and, without it, an organism would die.  NAD+ is used by many proteins throughout the body, such as the sirtuins, which repair damaged DNA.  It is also important for mitochondria, which are the powerhouses of the cell and generate the chemical energy that our bodies use.

What is NADH?

NADH acts as the transfer of the extra electrons to the inner membrane of the mitochondria and are considered the activated carrier molecule.  NADH converts back to NAD+, in a reverse reaction and the process of electron transfer, and is carried out with the movement of protons as H+ ions.

What Is Collagen?

Collagen is a form of protein that gives skin its elasticity and firmness and supports lean muscle and connective tissues.  Your body produces collagen naturally, but its production also drops with age.  Taking supplements can bolster collagen in the body, but not all collagen types work equally well.  Most collagen nutraceutical products only feature one or two collagen peptide types (usually the types most relevant to skin beauty, elasticity, and wrinkles).

Along with these popular collagen types, MetaPWR™ Advantage includes nine unique collagen peptide types.  Collagen is the most abundant protein in the body and performs important roles across its 28 different types, so we’re emphasizing the whole-body role of collagen with MetaPWR™ Advantage.

The nine types of collagen in MetaPWR Advantage:

• Collagen type I is related to skin beauty.
• Collagen type II is related to bone protection and is the main component of cartilage.
• Collagen type IV is the main protein of the basement membrane, connecting the dermis and the epidermis and forming a network structure to make the basement membrane malleable.
• Collagen type V is related to the regular arrangement of collagen fibers, stabilizing the structures of type I and type II collagen.
• Collagen type VI maintains mechanical function in the cell, supporting both muscle function and cell membrane integrity. Additionally, this collagen type inhibits oxidative damage and apoptosis.
• Collagen type IX is an important component of cartilage and is mainly distributed in the cartilage cells of growth plates, joints, and intervertebral discs.
• Collagen type XXV inhibits the fibrillation of amyloid beta peptide.
• Col1a2 protein is collagen fibrillin.
• Vacuolar protein sorting 37A is involved in cell growth and differentiation.

Each collagen type plays a role in improving skin density, elasticity and hydration, strengthening blood vessels, supporting connective tissue and improving overall vitality.*

When you mix MetaPWR™ Advantage, which is a hydrolyzed powder, with cool or room temperature water, you’re consuming it as a liquid, meaning your body can easily absorb the stable, non-degraded nutrients.

Most prepackaged liquid collagens use a pasteurization process to sterilize their water-based delivery system, which eliminates harmful bacteria — but also destroys beneficial active ingredients like vitamins, flavonoids and polyphenols. And despite this process, it’s actually less shelf stable than a powder delivery like MetaPWR™ Advantage.  It also requires shipping heavy water around the globe, increasing carbon emissions. By mixing MetaPWR™ Advantage powder with water, you still get the absorption benefits of a liquid delivery, but without the value loss that occurs during pasteurization (and without the sugar content that generally accompanies a prepackaged juice format!)

What makes dōTERRA’s collagen different than others on the market?

MetaPWR™ Advantage also contains nine types of collagen tripeptides, from marine sources, which may improve skin elasticity, density and firmness and support lean muscle and connective tissue.*

Most collagen products only feature one or two collagen peptide types, usually the collagen types that are most relevant to skin beauty, elasticity and wrinkles.

MetaPWR™ Advantage features those types of collagen too, but a competitive advantage dōTERRA^® is extremely excited about is that it does not have just one or two types of collagen.  It includes nine unique collagen peptide types.  dōTERRA^® is emphasizing the whole-body role of collagen.

In addition to being powdered, dōTERRA’s collagen is also hydrolyzed, meaning it is cut into specific tripeptide fragments, which dramatically increases its bioavailability. In fact, it was demonstrated to be 12 times more absorbable.  There are more fantastic ingredients in MetaPWR™ Advantage.  Collagen is just one piece.

Why did dōTERRA^® choose to offer powdered collagen instead of liquid?

MetaPWR™ Advantage comes in single-serve, hydrolyzed powder format.  It’s activated by you when you mix it in water before consuming, for a more active and bioavailable delivery system, at the time of consumption.

Most of the pre-packaged liquid collagens use a process to sterilize their water-based delivery system.  This not only eliminates the harmful bacteria, it also eliminates the beneficial active ingredients, like vitamins, flavonoids and polyphenols.  Despite this process, these products are actually less shelf-stable!  It also means they are shipping heavy water around the globe, increasing carbon emissions.

Is dōTERRA^® collagen powder gluten free?

Yes. It is gluten free, dairy free, corn free and keto-friendly.  The products are also free of maltodextrin, carrageenan, glyphosate, artificial sweeteners and added sugars.

Will a vegan version of MetaPWR™ Advantage be available?

Collagen is synthesized by animals and available exclusively from them.  Sometimes you may see products marketed as vegan collagen, however, if you look closely at the product, you realize it’s usually a collection of vegan-sourced amino acids, not the actual collagen tripeptides.  There are vegan-friendly products and compounds that support the synthesis of collagen, in fact, Yarrow Pom Cellular Beauty capsules are vegan and fill this role.

Is it true that Glutathione helps with the absorption rate of NMN, to increase NAD levels?

Glutathione has many benefits for the body, including promoting homeostasis within the body.  Glutathione levels often drop when NAD+ levels drop in the body, due to diabetes.

The physiochemical properties of glutathione have severely restricted the clinical development of oral dosage forms, owing to the limited membrane permeability and proneness to enzymatic degradation, primarily in the jejunum.  Studies have suggested glutathione is oxidized in the jejunum, thus resulting in loss of its antioxidant activity.  Basically, due to the chemical properties of glutathione, it has limited permeability in the gut and it is prone to enzymes breaking it down and creating a molecule that is largely ineffective in its role within the system.

Some companies claim a nano glutathione, but the molecule is the same size whether nano or not.  As far as an oral swish product is concerned, people don’t absorb smaller molecules through the oral mucosa than we do the stomach.  It just avoids first pass metabolism.  This means that it avoids being broken down by the liver into inactive components.  There is no real benefit of trying to absorb glutathione through the mouth instead of the GI tract.

Glutathione is not needed for NMN absorption.  NMN helps increase both NAD+ and glutathione in the body.  Citrus oils have high levels of limonene.  Limonene stimulates the body’s production of glutathione. MetaPWR™ Metabolic Blend contains both lemon and grapefruit essential oils.

Hyaluronic Acid

As a chief component of the extracellular matrix, hyaluronic acid maintains the integrity and health of your skin.*  Its unique ability to absorb and retain water helps prevent dry or damaged skin.*

Grapefruit Essential Oil

Referred to as a “forbidden fruit” and one of the “Seven Wonders of Barbados,”  Grapefruit was first documented in 1750 by Welshman Rev. Griffith Hughes.  The name “grapefruit” is attributed to the fruits growing in clusters which resemble those of grapes. dōTERRA^® Grapefruit essential oil can create an uplifting, stimulating environment — ideal when motivating yourself throughout the day.  The main chemical constituent of Grapefruit essential oil is limonene, which may support metabolism when taken internally.*

Lemon Essential Oil

Lemon essential oil is cold-pressed from the rind of the fruit.  Lemon oil has a clean, fresh citrus scent that provides an uplifting, positive boost throughout the day.  It also adds a refreshing twist when added to water.  dōTERRA’s Lemon oil is sourced in Italy and Brazil, which offer ideal growing conditions for producing this bright, tangy essential oil.

Peppermint Essential Oil

​​​​​​​The peppermint plant is a hybrid of water mint and spearmint and was first described by Carl Linnaeus in 1753.  A high menthol content — like that found in the dōTERRA^® peppermint essential oil — distinguishes the best quality peppermint oil from other products.  The sharp, sweet scent of peppermint essential oil can create an exhilarating, stimulating environment during physical activity.

Ginger Essential Oil

​​​​​​​dōTERRA’s ginger essential oil is derived from the fresh rhizome of the ginger plant — the subterranean stalk of a plant that shoots out the root system.  An excellent digestive tonic, ginger essential oil has great internal benefits for the body.*  It’s known for its ability to soothe the stomach when ingested.*

Cinnamon Bark Essential Oil

​​​​​​​Cinnamon oil is derived from a tropical, evergreen tree that grows up to 45 feet high and has highly fragrant bark, leaves and flowers.  The sweet, spicy aroma of cinnamon is loved around the world.  Cinnamon oil is frequently used in mouth rinses and chewing gum for its iconic flavor.*  Experimental research has shown cinnamaldehyde, a key chemical constituent of Cinnamon Bark essential oil, also supports healthy metabolic function when taken internally.*
