Dr. Fab Mancini: Hi. This is Dr Mancini, and I'm so excited to be here with you today. Why? Because I have the great Rick Anson, one of the greatest innovators in nutrition out there, talking about inner beauty, talking about beauty. You know, we all want to look our best. It's amazing the kind of money that people spend to look good. And I'm not talking just about the fancy plastic surgeries that people are doing even in their teenage years, even in their 20s and 30s and even in their 70s and 80s. I want you to know that your true Look, your inner beauty, is far more important than anything that you can do externally. And why is that? Because true beauty comes from inside. If you take care of the inside of your body, your external is only a reflection of your internal. Your skin is your biggest organ of the body. It's the biggest detoxifying agent of the body. And what happens is that our skin is constantly getting aging because it's detoxifying all these pollutants that we're putting inside of our body. But what if, imagine just for a second, what if you have an opportunity to look your best without buying these fancy creams that you're going to put every night and every day your body, in your face and in your body? What if all of the sudden you started seeing, I mean, let me read you some of the statistics. Rick, when I read this, I was amazing. 90% of women experience cellulite. I never knew that, because we don't talk about cellulite. And both those of you that are in a relationship, right? That is the last thing you're gonna say, Honey, I noticed that there's some cellulite going on in that body, right? So we don't talk about it. It's a silent epidemic that is out there, but 90% of women experience cellulite. The other one is by the age of 35 most people have lost 30% of their health density by the age of 35 we know that health loss has been a big challenge, especially with long COVID. We know it's one of the signs that your body is experiencing some of the symptoms from long COVID, but at the same time, we're noticing that over the last decade or two, we're losing our hair as we get older. And I'm not talking about baldness, I'm talking about natural hair. And the reason you know that is because you're taking a shower, you look down and what happens in that filter, we notice more hair every time. When you're brushing your hair, you look at your brush and you notice all this hair that is stuck to that brush that should be in your head. So Rick, when you look, oh, I got one more wrinkles and sagging skin aren't just from aging, they're from poor nutrition, dehydration and oxidative stress, breaking down your cells. Now you have been trained for the last 20 years to create some of the most innovative nutrition products. You work with some of the biggest companies out there, farmers and nutritional nutraceuticals, now you have this mission to bring the best ingredients to the natural space, and you're creating some of the best products out there. Now tell me, what is it that we need to understand that you figured out about how we can have that inner beauty reflect in our face and in our skin and make us look younger every single day.
Rick Anson:Again, it starts with the global perspective of what causes our our aging, right? What causes these wrinkles? What causes cellulite? What causes hair, you know, falling out of our heads. The if you look at the environmental factors that cause this right in the US is different places where we live. It's the heat. Is the climate. It is like taking, for example, in Dubai, women's hair loss is the is the biggest in anywhere in the world, because of the humidity and the climate that they live in. I mean, it's a major factor over in the in the actually, the whole GCC region of the world. So you when I take a global if I take a perspective of making a product that has multiple functions and has multiple ways it works in your body, we call them mechanisms of action. You look at a global perspective and the reasons why people have these conditions, and almost every, I think every beauty and skin care product, right, skin is our skin's our largest organ. And it's more than just, you know, this inner beauty, right is, it's skincare taking care of our largest organ from these environmental pollutants and toxins. We looked at the approach of inner beauty, of actually taking ingredients with five clinically proven functions, the five most important functions for skin care and beauty, and put them. Into an edible, gummy form that is sugar free and vegan, that's an ingestible we have studies that show within two to four weeks, these beauty effects are working within the body, not just topically, on your face, right? It's a regimen almost every woman and some men have been doing women since they were five years old, of putting this topical regimen of three to six to seven different serums on their face for beauty, and that's going through maybe one or two of the five layers of the skin. And it's cosmetic. It works shortly, but that's why they want you to do it every day or every other day, usually twice or three times a day, twice. Yeah, I have a 22 year old daughter. I've been married to beautiful my best friend for 25 years. I've seen them mean, my daughter, when she was five, was going into my wife's cosmetics, right, and putting things on her face. So we took the approach of, let's fight these daily toxins that we're exposed to, that we'll never get completely rid of. And let's we talked about NAD being a cellular energy product, starting at the core of cellular energy and these trillions of cells, our approach is in your beauty and skincare is putting five clinically proven ingredients for wrinkles, age spots, skin elasticity, hair restoration and growth and all well, actually six functions, cellulite reduction and Something that has actually been available, but very few people have been putting into this has been available in the topical form. It's UV sunlight protection, right? We put these SPF 30s on our skin, on our face, and our face is actually like an SPF 50, and our skin's like a 30 to protect us from these dangerous sun rays. We've put all six ingredients into these amazing vegan, sugar free gummies. They're an ingestible and our studies show that it works in all six of these skin factors and these beauty factors. You can literally eat between one and three of these gummies daily and slow the anti aging process down from within, from your cellular level outward, for wrinkles, age spots, skinless acidity, hair restoration and growth. You know, we call it dimples, anti cellulite and this UV semi protection from within, it is a innovative, a very methodical approach to skin care that has clinical evidence behind it that we think will change the way people view health care for the rest of their lives and offer people better solutions, long term anti aging, long term skin care and beauty. We're so excited to launch this, Dr fab. I know you have so many people that will want to take the lead in education and launching this. It is an innovative approach to one of the major chronic diseases in our lifetime.
Rick Anson:Dr. Fab Mancini: Well, one of the things that I realized is that beauty is important. You know, we all like to look good, right? I prefer feeling better than looking better. If I had a choice. But I know right now, based on surveys, the majority of the people that may be watching right now are going to say, Man, I want to look better, right? It's amazing. The kind of things that we would do to ourselves in order to look better. But now imagine this for a minute, no major surgeries that you may be thinking about doing, not necessarily having to put all those creams every single day to try to get that first and second layer of the skin. But what about if we were doing something from inside out? Right? A lot of men tell me, Rick that the reason that they don't use cream is because they feel uncomfortable. Some men even feel that it's not manly to put a cream on your face. I'm here to tell you we were five boys, you know, and my mom, you know, since we were like teenagers, we have to do facials, because she was teaching us the importance of taking care of your skin. Now my mom is going to be 83 in a couple of weeks, and you will see that she looks like 40 or 45 she's amazing, because she's always taking care of her skin. My mom didn't have a chance to have something like inner beauty out there that can actually give people an option. There are a lot of men out there that I know would do something like this. And for you ladies, that if you want your man, give it to them as a gift. It's a gummy. Who's not going to want to eat it, right? Just say, Honey, I got you some gummies. They're amazing, and you don't even have to tell. Tell the man what they're eating, but all I can tell you is that it works. These are science based ingredients that have actually been proven to work for me. One of the things that really was an aha moment is the fact that I love to be outdoors, right? I grew up in Columbia, South America, and then we moved to Miami, and now I live in Texas, but I travel every week, usually to warm climates, and I like to be outside. I love the ocean. It's my favorite place in the world. And the problem is, I've always been concerned about my skin, because I was always told I need to protect my skin when I'm out in the sun. But imagine being able to have a gummy that allows you to already have some of that protection in place. But also, if you find yourself listening to this and you're saying, but Rick, fab, I love my creams. I don't want to give them up, that's okay. Use this as a companion to those things. But what you're going to find out is your results are going to be enhanced. That you may even get to the point of saying, You know what, maybe I don't need to do those creams anymore because I'm feeling already the difference. What do you think Rick right now is one thing that you're hoping that this gum is, I mean, is you can see the innovation here. The innovation is, When have you ever heard that you can actually have gray skin without putting something on your face, right? This is the first time I've ever heard that. When I experienced it and I started looking at the data and the science of these particular ingredients, I was amazed, because they're out there. The problem is, there hasn't been anybody sophisticated enough to think about, wow, what if I could put that into a mechanism such as a gummy that people can take on a regular basis and be able to give themselves those ingredients that have already been proven? What do you think? What is your hope that when people take a look at this and start experiencing for themselves that they discover
Rick Anson:How easy it is to have great skincare, right? And here's something that's, I think, probably the most astounding, the most and scientifically proven, is that these six ingredients are not a chemical reaction in your body. We're not a drug. These six evidence based clinical ingredients all come from fruits. They come from different melons in a certain region of the world that have this clinical evidence. So you're taking something natural, God's gift to us, mother nature's gift in these fruits that have all of these properties for beauty, and we're putting them into the most easiest way to deliver them in a gummy, right in a vegan, sugar free gummy that tastes amazing. The experience of eating these and knowing you're getting these six beneficial beauty in skincare ingredients, but think about when you put a topical on Dr fab, right? It's our face, right? The other topicals are skin SPF protectants, and they're full of chemicals. When you can take something and it's internal in the body and it's in the factor, like a gummy that's almost immediately absorbable in because it's going through the mucous membrane into your bloodstream. Immediately, you're getting all those benefits internally, not not here, in your just in your face, throughout your whole body, your legs, your feet, your arms, your lower back, right? That's so huge for cellulite reduction, right? Because it's in cellular thighs. It's everywhere that you have the ability to put this into your body in the easiest, great tasting way, and get all those six benefits throughout your whole body for skin care and beauty. It is, it is truly transformative what we're doing in the skincare beauty line.
Rick Anson:Dr. Fab Mancini: Well, I just can't wait, because I know when people start trying this, when they start seeing the results, and the word of mouth out there will get out. I mean, I'm excited, because I'm hoping that not only this will be a replacement of your beauty cosmetics right now, or your skincare line, it could also be a companion, you know, because I want to make sure that whatever you already have proven that works for you. But I'm very excited Rick about not only the man, getting into the skincare game, because your skin is crucial. It's one of the most important organs of the body, and it needs to be at its healthiest state as possible. We lose the elasticity of aging, the wrinkles, all of those things are just signs of our body being dehydrated, the toxicity from within, the fact that you're not regenerating that cell. And that's what this particular ingredients have already proven to do. But I'm also excited about the young people out there, the teenagers that are strong. Struggling many times with skin conditions, and they don't know what to do, and it becomes a very social, awkward stage in their life. So even somebody in their 20s and 30s, right that they all of a sudden they're working in a professional environment, and they're looking like they're a teenager, because somehow their skin is trying to release many of these toxins. I want you to know that skincare is critical, not only for the sake of preventing possible skin cancers in the future, but more importantly, that you got to nurture your skin. You want to reverse chronic disease. Take care of your skin because you can't your skin is a detoxifying agent. The better your skin functions, the better detoxification your body's gonna do. And that's the reason that I get excited. Yeah, the outer beauty is wonderful, but the inner beauty, to me, is far more sexy and attractive. And that's the way I want you to look at this product. I want you to take that gummy and feel sexy every time, because you know your inner body is looking good, and yeah, I'm talking to you, it's looking good, and that's the way that you should feel every single day. I promise you that your outer body is only a reflection of your inner body. So you have to take care of your inner body. That's why lifestyle and all of those things are important. But I want you to experiment this. I want you to try it, and I want you to be somebody that is a raving fan and just has to share that with everybody out there. Why? Because it works. Try for yourself. And thank you, Rick for sharing that with us. I'm super excited about this, and if all of a sudden you see me 10 years from now, looking even younger than I do today. Now you know my secret.
