Our story

I remember my father crying exactly twice in the 45 years that I knew him. 

Once was when he and my mom divorced. The other was when he told me the story of holding my infant body in his arms, agonized, because he didn't think I was going to make it.

They took me to doctor after doctor. Nothing helped, he said. I just got skinnier. I cried all the time.

And then...a miracle.

At his wit's end, desperate to try anything, my father found an old retired country doctor. 

The doc took one look at me, and said the five words that saved my life: 

"Put him on apple juice."

From that day, my dad said, I started getting better. It turns out I was critically deficient in the essential antioxidants that only apples could provide. 

And somehow, this gentle old country doctor knew it––40 years before modern nutritional science would prove him absolutely correct.

"Put him on apple juice," he said. To this day, I don't even know his name. But with those five simple words, that wise old country doctor saved my life.

Fast forward 55 years. I am in perfect health. 

I have all my hair, healthy skin, a supple body, plenty of energy, and no medical problems. 

No obesity. No diabetes. No heart problems. No arthritis pain. Nothing. I haven't seen a doctor in years. I never get colds, flu or infections. I feel wonderful. 

And I take Apple Poly® every single day. Why wouldn't I? Apple polyphenols saved my life.

For more than 30 years, I’ve been an independent research analyst specializing in polyphenol science––one of the most promising new frontiers of health and healing.

Polyphenols, if you didn’t know, are a special class of antioxidants in fruits and vegetables. And the world is just now catching up to how utterly transformational they are.

In our late twenties, and after we’d been married a few years, my wife Katrina showed me a book by two brilliant researchers, Durk Pearson and Sandy Shaw. 

The book was Life Extension: A Practical Scientific Approach. Katrina read the introduction and part of the first chapter to me. I was hooked.

Neither of us were especially interested in living to a hundred years old, or longer––possibly much longer, according to these scientists.

Of course, that’s intriguing. And I’ve noticed that it becomes more intriguing the older I get. 

But our real fascination was in understanding and possibly slowing, our rate of getting old, and the decline it brings to us all.

This book opened my mind to these most exciting possibilities. What if we could actually slow the rate of aging decline? What if we could be healthy far longer? 

What if we could have more years (more years together, she whispers, in my head) without losing our wonderful flexible, energetic, young bodies to the ravages of…getting old?

One day, after several years of independent study, Katrina found a short article about lab rats losing large amounts of organ fat when taking a nutrient we’d never heard of: apple polyphenols.

The key molecule responsible? Procyanidin B2, a rare polyphenol concentrated in apple peels. Unlike most antioxidants, it wasn’t just neutralizing free radicals—it was triggering deep, systemic effects on metabolism, aging, and cellular repair.

We had to try it for ourselves.

We tried our local health food stores, catalog suppliers, everything we could think of. Nobody had ever heard of it.

Eventually we looked to Japan––where the rat study had been done––and located a source. 

While we waited for the material to arrive, we turned our attention to finding and reading everything that had ever been published about these polyphenols.

The terminology was confusing. The research was slow. But Katrina insisted. “Anything that reduces organ fat will extend your life. It has to.”

Finally, the package arrived from Japan. As we began putting it in capsules by hand, I tasted some of it. It was intensely bitter––proof of the potency of the polyphenols, according to the scientists who study it. 

We encapsulated it ourselves and started taking it daily. The effects were undeniable.

• Better energy—a clean, steady vitality throughout the day
• Clearer skin—a visible improvement in elasticity and tone
• Leaner bodies—without changes to diet or exercise

The science was telling us that this was the compound we’d been waiting for––much more powerful than vitamins, and with no known side effects.

As we dug deeper, the science became even more compelling. Apple polyphenols weren’t just antioxidants. They were influencing nearly every major organ system and aging pathway in the body—from fat metabolism to brain function to skin regeneration.

As you can imagine, I flashed back to that old country doctor who told my father, when his little boy was at death’s door: “put him on apple juice.”

It was intensely bitter––proof of the potency of the polyphenols, according to the scientists who study it. 

That doctor couldn’t possibly have known what today’s top anti-aging and nutritional scientists do, which is that polyphenols are not just supplements––they’re lifespan essentials.

We realized we had found something truly special. And we weren’t willing to keep it to ourselves.

Apple Poly® is a pure polyphenol extract from baby apple peels.

Clinically proven to reduce abdominal fat, regrow hair, and positively impact every organ system and every known mechanism of aging. 

The irony is, while everyone’s heard the old saying “an apple a day keeps the doctor away”, the most powerful part of the fruit is the one we throw away: the peel!

An apple’s peel makes up just 10% of its weight, yet has 75% of its total polyphenol content. 

One serving of Apple Poly® gives you the polyphenol equivalent of six apple peels. And unlike the apples in your grocery store, the apples we use are never exposed to pesticides.

Simply put, apple polyphenols are the most potent, bioactive antioxidants in the world. 

And most people have never experienced the true impact that they can make!

We're serious about our health.

And we're offering you a way to get serious about yours. 

It’s not hard. We do the hard part: deciphering the science jargon and calling out the crazy nonsense and misleading claims. 

We bring you the highest quality ingredients in medically relevant doses from the cutting edge of global health science––the same ones we take every day. 

We show you the data and tell you the truth. Because we're serious about your health too.
