The overall feeling of tiredness or a lack of energy, making you feel unmotivated, is "fatigue".
If your fatigue lasts for over 1 month, it can be "chronic fatigue", a symptom of some abnormal body conditions. Left
untreated, the root causes can lead to various health problems & diseases. The good news is that you do have the power
to overcome chronic fatigue.
Daily pressure & unhealthy living habits keep on exerting pressure on our bodies, undermining the immune system, brain & kidneys day by day. The accumulated result is chronic fatigue, which is often accompanied by other health issues that did not exist before. Resting alone can no longer fully restore our stamina to its normal level.
FACT : 73% OF PEOPLE IN HK SHOWED SYMPTOMS OF "CHRONIC FATIGUE"
Chronic fatigue has become a common & ever-growing global health problem. A survey conducted by the HKU (Hong Kong University) in 2013 found that 73% of the Hong Kong interviewees showed symptoms of chronic fatigue. How has the increasing stress in everyday life since 2013 changed the fatigue level among HK citizens?
On top of that, LONG COVID is now estimated to affect 20-30% of people who have recovered from Covid-19 (even those with mild or no symptoms). Research shows that "chronic fatigue" is the No.1 symptom of LONG COVID, which can be long lasting and recurring.
DO YOU, YOUR FAMILY MEMBERS OR FRIENDS HAVE "CHRONIC FATIGUE"?
Fatigue can be classified into 3 categories based on the duration of symptoms:-
Generally, "acute" fatigue disappears after taking a rest or treating the causative diseases. If the fatigue lasts for over 1 month, one must pay due attention and address the root causes.
For people with "chronic fatigue", the symptoms can vary from person to person and the severity of symptoms can fluctuate from day to day. The typical symptoms may include:
- unexplained muscle or joint pain
- unrefreshing sleep - a light sleep that, even after a full night, does not leave you rested
- brain fog - memory, focus/concentration & info processing difficulties
- increased exhaustion after physical or mental activities
- dizziness that worsens with moving from lying down to sitting up or sitting up to standing
- headaches
- sore throat
- enlarged lymph nodes in your neck or armpits
UNDERLYING CAUSES OF CHRONIC FATIGUE, LEFT UNTREATED, CAN LEAD TO HIGHLY SEVERE HEALTH PROBLEMS
CAUSE 1. CHRONIC LOW-GRADE INFLAMMATION & OXIDATIVE STRESS
How does CIGI reduce cellular-energy availability & increase energy expenditure?
Decrease in cellular-energy availability
Low-grade inflammation induces a metabolic switch from energy-efficient oxidative phosphorylation to fast-acting, but less efficient, aerobic glycolytic energy production; increases reactive oxygen species; and reduces insulin sensitivity. These effects result in reduced glucose availability and, thereby, reduced cellular energy.
Increase in energy expenditure
Emerging evidence suggests that chronic low-grade inflammation is associated with increased willingness to exert effort under specific circumstances. Circadian-rhythm changes and sleep disturbances might mediate the effects of inflammation on cellular-energy availability and non-adaptive energy expenditure.
Oxidative Stress caused by chronic inflammation is a common reason for CLGI. CLGI most often occurs following a viral infection (e.g. Covid, influenza & herpes viruses). Studies have reported that individuals with LONG COVID show elevated levels of inflammatory cytokines.
Oxidative stress is also a main contributor to DNA damage and apoptosis (cell death), leading to organ damage and various serious health problems (e.g. Alzheimer's disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, atherosclerosis & stroke).
CAUSE 2. BRAIN : ENERGY DEFICIENCY & DEGENERATION
As we age, the levels of glucose (the brain’s primary source of fuel) in the central nervous system diminishes. The aging of the brain results from the decline of energy metabolism. In particular, the neuronal metabolism of glucose declines steadily, resulting in a growing deficit of ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) production - which, in turn, limits glucose access.
Reduction of brain glucose causes decline in cognition (e.g. mental lapses in perception, attention, memory, and action) and autonomic issues (fatigue, dizziness, lightheadedness, blurry vision & weakness).
Study by Nuffield Department of Clinical Neurosciences, Oxford
Dr. Gwenaëlle Douaud (associate professor) and associates
Subjects: 401 people who had tested positive for COVID-19, aged 51-81 (386 mild cases & 15 previously hospitalized)
Control Group: 384 U.K. Biobank participants who had not tested positive, matching the health profile, age and sex of the subjects
Method: a second brain scan around 5 months after contracting COVID-19
Findings: Compared with the control group, the subjects (whom had had Covid-19) experienced an additional 0.2% – 2% loss of brain tissue, specifically in the parahippocampal gyrus (responsible for "memory encoding and retrieval"), the orbitofrontal cortex (involved in the cognitive process of decision-making) and the insula (related to basic survival needs, such as taste, autonomic control and visceral sensations, such as the sensation feeling full after eating or the need to go to the bathroom etc.).
CAUSE 3. POOR KIDNEY FUNCTION
Causing brain deterioration : Numerous researchers have established that poor kidney function causes fatigue, weakness & "brain fog" types of symptoms. "A recent research has also found a strong link between poor kidney function and a reduction of blood flow to the brain. People who have kidney problems are at a higher risk of dementia and memory problems."* "The rate of cognitive decline is associated with the deterioration in kidney function."**
Source of information: * National Kidney Foundation, USA
** Science Daily News Nov 19th 2012, research led by Temple University, Philadelphia, PA, USA
Causing blood related problems : Poor kidney function leads to a buildup of toxins in the blood. Toxins damage enzymes, causing a reduction of oxygen in blood and a slow-down of cell metabolism. The consequences are fatigue, accelerated aging and increased risk of health issues (e.g. heart diseases, diabetes, osteoporosis).
COVID-19 long-haulers - even those who experienced mild cases - are at significantly increased risk for substantial declines in kidney function. The kidney function decline (in covid patients) is not normal but at a "disease state". A
Covid has been causing a lot of serious kidney issues even in people who were not affected by any kind of kidney ailment earlier. Many people affected by Covid have been showing signs of kidney damage, some so severe to the extent that they have required dialysis. Almost 30% of all people who have suffered from Covid infection have had kidney problems. B
As compared with people who have not contracted COVID, COVID patients who did not require hospitalization had a significant 30%, 15% and 215% higher risks for AKI (Acute Kidney Injury) , MAKE (Major Adverse Kidney Events) and ESKD (End Stage Kidney Disease), respectively. C
The infected kidney organoids (of COVID patients) show that the virus directly causes cell damage. D COVID causes kidney fibrosis which has dire long-term consequences in kidney functions.
(LEFT IMAGE) Interstitial fibrosis (collagen fibers in blue) is enhanced in COVID-19 kidney autopsy tissues compared with (RIGHT IMAGE) the control specimen from a normal healthy kidney (collagen fibers in blue). The developed scar tissue in the infected kidneys can affect kidney function in the long term.

TCM : WEAKENING OF KINDEYS CAUSES "FATIGUE" & "BRAIN FOG"
In TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine), chronic fatigue is considered a syndrome of "weakness and overspending of body’s resources". Factors like naturally weak body conditions at birth, overworking without nourishing the body, illness/injury & accumulated weakening of internal body system can cause "Qi (energy) & blood deficiencies and upset the imbalance within the body. As a result, the organs (especially kidneys) are damaged, leading to fatigue.
From the perspective of TCM, "brain fog" is similar to the syndrome of "forgetfulness" which is an illness of the "mind & emotion". The related organs are the kidneys and the heart.
A deficiency of kidney essence & energy will disrupt the transformation of the marrow into brain*. When deprived of energy & blood, the heart cannot function property, undermining emotion & cognition.
* Interestingly, this concept previously considered to be abstract have now been proven by modern Western medical studies. Dr. Eva Mezey (Adult Stem Cell specialist, National Institutes of Health, USA) said, "We conclude that adult human bone marrow cells can enter the brain and generate neurons..."
"To maintain good health and life, one must nourish the kidneys first.
Nourish the kidneys to sustain life."

IS DEER VELVET SUITABLE FOR PEOPLE WITH CARDIOVASCULAR ISSUES?
Deer Velvet can help improve cardiovascular health! TCM classifies the root cause of cardiovascular problems into 2 types: "Kidney Yang Deficiency" and "Yin Deficiency & Fire Exuberance". People with cardiovascular problems should consider their own body nature. Deer velvet is suitable for people with yang deficiency.
People with kidney yin deficiency (feel hot even in winter, dry mouth & lips, yellowish complexion, yellowish urine, hot & irritable temper) may not be suitable for taking ingredients such as deer velvet, ginseng, ganoderma and cordyceps.
DVA : POWERFUL SUPERFOOD PROVEN TO REVITALISE ENERGY PRODUCTION BY

ASTAXANTHIN: KING OF NATURAL ANTIOXIDANTS & ANTI-INFLAMMATORY SUBSTANCES
Natural astaxanthin is a carotenoid made by haematococcus pluvialis in water. When this algae experiences nutrient deficiency and environmental stress, it produces & accumulates astaxanthin in its lipid vesicles to protect the algae's nucleus.
Astaxanthin balances and strengthens the immune system. It protects our bodies and suppresses inflammation and other diseases.
Oxidative stress suppresses the immune system's response. Natural astaxanthin increases the number of antibody-producing cells and effectively enhances the protection of lymphocytes and phagocytes. thereby:
- Speeds up the immune response
- Strengthens and balances the immune system
- Enhances the production of antibodies
- Protects immune cells from oxidative stress
Astaxanthin balances and strengthens the immune system. While protecting the body, it can also inhibit the immune system from reacting abnormally and causing inflammation or other diseases.
ASTAXANTHIN IS SAFE, HOWEVER VITAMIN C, D & E, CoQ-10, BETA CAROTENE & CUMIN WORRYINGLY CAN BECOME PRO-OXIDANT & HARM YOUR HEALTH
- Astaxanthin is the only type of antioxidant that can protect cells on both the inside and the outside. Other antioxidants only work on one side of the cell membrane. For example, Vitamin E only works on the inner side of the cell membrane, while Vitamin C only works on the outside of the cell membrane.
- Astaxanthin is a pure antioxidant which is exceptionally safe and stable even when subjected to enormous amount of stress from environmental factors and free radicals. Beaware that other antioxidants, such as Beta Carotene, CoQ10, Cumin, Zeaxanthin, Vitamin E, C, D and Selenium can turn pro-oxidant under pathologic conditions and actually cause cell damage / adversely harm your health.

LONG COVID SYMPTOMS
WHAT CAUSES FATIGUE?
The causes of fatigue can be divided into 3 general categories.
lifestyle factors
- lack of nutrients essential for maintaining health
- working long hours
- lack of sleep
- lack of exercise
- alcohol influence
- certain medications (e.g. antidepressants or sedatives)
physical health conditions
- anemia
- infections (e.g. cold/flu)
- kidney disease
- diabetes
- thyroid related diseases
mental health issues
- Stress, anxiety, depression, grief, boredom
The red-yellow regions are the parts of the brain that shrank the most in the 401 SARS-CoV-2 infected participants, compared with the 384 noninfected participants.
Blood transports oxygen, nutrients, hormones & proteins necessary for metabolism to the cells of the whole body. Kidneys produce erythropoietin, which stimulates the bone marrow to accelerate blood production (red blood cells & hemoglobin). Therefore poor kidney function can impair the health of all organs & cause various diseases.
TCM : MECHANISM OF HOW KIDNEYS AFFECT "EMOTION" & "COGNITION"
1
The kidneys house the essential substances & energy necessary to support various body functions. The kidneys control the growth of bone & bone marrow.
2
Bone marrow fills the brain* and boosts blood production.
3
The heart drives blood circulation and affects emotion & cognition.

" Nutrition is an important part of brain injury recovery because both the brain & body need proper nutrients in order to heal.
The food we eat supplies us with energy and nutrients that our brain and body use to complete physical, cognitive, and mental activities."
Dennis (60-year-old sports enthusiast) bikes 50 miles per day. He is amazed by how effectively NutritiveZ™ Lifeforce DVA + AX helps him recover from fatigue, prevent inflammation of old injuries and keep his energy level & mood up.
ASTAXANTHIN: PROTECTS YOU AGAINST INFLAMMATION
Seperate studies have shown Astaxanthin protects your body from inflammation:
- 40 trained soccer players (average 18 years old)，21 treated with 4mg/day AstaReal® Astaxanthin，19 treated with placebo
- Placebo group had a 57% increase in system pro-inflammatory marker C-reactive protein (CRP), while the Astaxanthin group did not!
Overall speaking, this study has shown that astaxanthin reduces inflammation, thereby protecting your body's cells from exposure to worse effects of an illness, while decreasing your risk of an illness developing into longterm disease.
ASTAXANTHIN: ANTIOXIDANT, IMPROVES BRAIN'S HEALTH
A clinical trial has shown Astaxanthin protects your body from inflammation:
- 30 healthy subjects (mean age 56.3), taking 6mg or 12mg of AstaReal astaxanthin or placebo daily for 12 weeks
- The PLOOH in blood of the 12mg group was reduced by 48%.*
- The result shows that astaxanthin improves the quality of the blood (reducing oxidation) and the quantity of oxygen & nutrients that reach the brain tissues.
* PLOOH is both a product and the major initiator of peroxidative chain reactions. A high PLOOH level indicates a high level of peroxidative chain reactions which is detrimental to our cells.

2) NUTRITIVEZ™ INGREDIENT ADVANTAGE - ASTAREAL® #1 NATURAL ASTAXANTHIN BRAND IN THE WORLD!
Why do we add AstaReal® Axtaxanthin to Deer Velvet?
Deer velvet Antler is a highly potent ingredient and should not be overdosed. To further enhance the effect of our product, we have chosen to supplement it with astaxanthin for strong reasons.
Astaxanthin is nature's most powerful
known 'anti-oxidant' & 'anti-inflammatory'
Natural astaxanthin made from Haematococcus pluvialis (HP) microalgae is a natural carotenoid that can be found existing in water in nature.
Human beings can benefit immensely from astaxanthin. But since our bodies cannot synthesize it directly (due to the hard cell wall), previously we could only obtain sufficient astaxanthin by eating a substantial amount of seafood daily which contains astaxanthin. The good news is that nowadays it is possible for us all to instead obtain sufficient 100% natural astaxanthin in the form of health supplements.
NB: Astaxanthin is a 'Pure Antioxidant' and no matter the dosage will fight damaging free radicals and help your health (I.E. Unlike CoQ-10, Beta Carotene, Zeaxanthin, Vitamin E, C, D and Selenium etc. which can turn 'Pro-oxidant', thereby releasing free radicals & actually causing damage your health!).
Natural Astaxanthin has '6000 times' more
'anti-oxidant power' than Vitamin C
Astaxanthin under the microscope
Why is AstaReal® #1 - your safest & the best choice of Astaxanthin?
AstaReal® is the world´s leading producer and innovator of natural astaxanthin :- The first company in the world to commercially produce natural astaxanthin from microalgae. A highly advanced & one-of-a-kind technology using specially designed photobioreactors is used to cultivate the microalgae Haematococcus pluviailis (HP).
- AstaReal® produces premium natural astaxanthin products that are of the highest potency, quality and stability.
- AstaReal® astaxanthin is the most studied brand of astaxanthin in the world
- AstaReal® astaxanthin is free of heavy metals, pesticides, cancer causing pollutant PAHs, nuclear radiation that plague so many growers & the astaxanthin NutritiveZ™ uses is processed for human consumption 100% mechanically & naturally in Australia by Pharmako™ (without chemicals/heat).
- AstaReal® is a trademark of Fuji Chemical Industries Co., Ltd.
3) NUTRITIVEZ™ 'HIGH-TECH / 100% COLD' PRODUCTION ADVANTAGE = 'HIGHLY BIO-ACTIVE' INGREDIENTS
NutritiveZ™ deer velvet products are processed and packaged in a 100% heat-free manner so that protein and lipid structures do not break down resulting in a more efficacious ingredient. Research has shown that the water-soluble protein in freeze-dried velvet antler is 13.1 TIMES HIGHER than with other production processing methods.
Our velvet is freeze dried using advance technologies. We use cold alcohol microbial treatment. Our products are 100% made in New Zealand, within a GMP certified factory. We use high quality packing box and tamper proof sticker, deliberately avoiding plastic shrink wrapping which expose products to intense heat.
NB: Please be very wary of all other brands of deer velvet capsules (full antler stick or deer velvet slices) without an independent lab amino acid test report, as almost all manufacturers in New Zealand, China & Korea etc. are still using high heat-processing methods where they boil the deer velvet at very high temperatures for a long time (even if they freeze dry it later!), thereby destroying the bio-activity of their deer velvet & also the potential health benefits for you!
4) NUTRITIVEZ™ COUNTERFEIT 'FAKES' PROTECTION / 'SAFE FOR CONSUMPTION' CUSTOMER ASSURANCE
In order to protect consumers’ interests, NutritiveZ™ has printed a unique individual authentication 'QR Code' onto the label of every single bottle (This label is applied at the packing factory in New Zealand).
After scanning, you will see 1 of the following 3 symbols.
