Common Questions Answered About ASEA

Welcome to the ultimate guide to ASEA Redox, here we will answer your common questions, as we delve into the most frequently asked questions about ASEA and its redox signaling products. If you are on a learning journey right now trying to figure out what this is, how it works, is it safe, is this right for me, you have arrived at the right place.

Here is a little bit of background on me, my name is Dr. Dan Hartley. I am a retired, board-certified Podiatric Physician and Surgeon. I was introduced to the world of Redox Signaling in 2007, while working in the pharmaceutical industry doing clinical research for drugs not yet approved by the FDA.  I did that for over 32 years. Much has happened in the world since 2007, and a lot in the field of redox signaling has advanced, as well as with ASEA itself.

As you start to learn about ASEA, more and more questions kind of pop up, but typically the most common question is what exactly are redox signaling molecules? Is this something ASEA made up? I have never heard of it before. Give me some context, please.

So, let’s get into this. Redox is not something ASEA made up. Redox stands for reductants and oxidants.  It’s a huge field of science. This is something that in the late 90s, the first Nobel Prize was awarded for research in this area. What makes ASEA unique is that they have stabilized these redox signaling molecules outside of the body in a bioactive form?

What does that mean and why do you care?  Well, redox is life. Your body is made up of trillions of cells. Those cells must communicate in order for us to function properly and live.

They communicate through electron transfer. Reductants give an electron; oxidants take one away.  Your body makes reductant and oxidant molecules in the mitochondria of your cells during the process of energy production.

A lot of Redox Signaling Molecules come from salt, (sodium chloride or NaCl) and water (hydrogen and oxygen or H2O). Together in a .9% solution of the two molecules, we call that “saline”.  Your body is a sack of saline. So, the body “sources” the building blocks to make these reductants and oxidants from saline.

Those four building blocks are used to make different combinations and become different molecules. Those molecules have different roles in the body, but mainly communication.  When there’s damage, they send the alert call that goes out.  If you have a mutated cell, that’s the alert that says, hey, we need to kill this cell off. Inside of the cell, our genes must be activated and signaled to turn on so that we have the genetic expression pathways activated for certain functions such as our immune system and the inflammatory response in the body. Those things get shut off and impacted as we age, with stress, and with toxins we are subjected to in daily life.

As you get older, your mitochondria are less efficient, and your body is not able to make as many reductants and oxidants as it did when you were younger. And therefore, you have less mitochondria in your body, resulting in weaker signaling.  And when you have damage to cells in your body, the alert call as you get older gets weaker and weaker………

As time goes on, the body doesn’t hear the issue, and you have health issues that become chronic. You have a reason to go visit your doctor. You have mutated cells that didn’t get detected.

So, what would happen if you could increase the communication……the signaling strength? How significant would it be if you could help your body detect issues faster, like it did when you were younger, resulting in a clear line of communication.  That is what adding ASEA into your system does. 

It simply helps your body figure out where there is damage and how it can be repaired? What has been switched off that needs to be switched back on? Now, the next question that often comes up is, ok, show me the research? What is science saying about this? What’s the research that’s been done? Great question. Back in 2011, when I learned about Asea, the biologist-doctor in me was thinking, show me the research. And the company itself didn’t have too much.

So, I went to PubMed.gov.  I also went to Google Scholar.  I wanted to see what the scientific community was saying about redox signaling? And how does the balance of reductants and oxidants impact disease and illness? There is a lot of information out there….tens of thousands of peer-reviewed studies are available.

You can go there too, even if you’re not a scientist, and don’t let it overwhelm you.  In addition, the company ASEA has done a lot more research since then, and they’re constantly funding new research, as they work with independent labs around the world.

All their research is structure-function.  There’s a great website, discoverredox.com, and if you go up to the top and click “Redox Science”, it’s going to open to a page where they’ve basically summarized all of the studies, including the safety studies they’ve done, the impact it has on glutathione, the NRF2 pathway, how it helps stressed cells, oxidative stress, and gene expression just to name a few.

It also goes on to address the studies that have been published that have been peer reviewed on mice. There was a lot of research done on athletes at the beginning, as well as the redox gel and what they’ve seen it do with turning our skin cells over faster, helping with cellulite and skin issues.  If you would like to get deeper, you can click in and collect the PDFs of this information.

But the most common thing people want to know is about SAFETY?  Is this harmful?  And is it going to help with my issue? So those are the next common questions. Will it help with my issue? Know this for sure: It cannot hurt you in any way.

When you take it, it’s going to go into your system and it’s going to help find where your cells are damaged. Now, this might be something you’re consciously aware of, and it might be something you’re not aware of.  It might start working on something internally that you didn’t even know was an issue. And you might not think that it’s working at the beginning because the thing you’re consciously aware of hasn’t been addressed yet, right?  But know this, the body has its own checklist.  So, we tell people, baseline your health. Complete a health tracker. You’ll get one when you start taking Asea.  Document where you are with everything from day one. Then start your Asea and re-evaluate after a week.

After a week, what we’ve seen with the people is about 10% of people see a noticeable shift, which means 90% of you are not going to notice any changes in the first week.   One bottle lasts you about a week. It’s not enough to evaluate fully.   Stay on it.  After 30 days in, we see about 50% of people seeing a shift in their health tracker.  After 60 days in, we see about 75% of people seeing a shift in their health tracker.  And at 90 days, we see about 90% of people report positive objective results, and therefore we always recommend telling people to give it 90 days……that’s how long it takes for the cells in your body to do a significant turnover…. 90 days.  As stated, most of your cells will turn over in a 90-day period. Your cells didn’t get in their situation overnight.  Over time, what it will do is help your body repair cells and it’s not something you’re going to normally feel.  You don’t feel when you’re low in vitamin D.  We simply don’t feel some things happening in our bodies. But as you start to take Asea and your cells start to repair, well, the tissues that those cells are a part of will start to repair too.

It might be an issue with tissue in your stomach. It might be in your lungs. It might be in your liver. It might be in your brain, or your skin. That organ will then start to function better, and that system will function more optimally, and then you’ll start to notice.  So be patient with it. This is something that, in time, there’s not a health challenge these molecules won’t touch.  So, allow yourself the time for cell repairs to happen, and do not jump to conclusions thinking it doesn’t work because you just haven’t been patient. 

The next one, can I be allergic? Is it going to interact with my medicines? The quick answer is, there’s a lot of safety information on this. It has no contraindications with meds because what’s in Asea is “in” you. Your medicines are already interacting with redox.  You might notice that it starts to repair things, so the medicine you were taking to mask a symptom that you were having, you may no longer need.  I’m not telling you to go off your medicines. You should always consult with your doctor, but as you start to track things, you might say to yourself, wow, you know, I’m not having these issues anymore. I wonder if I still need this.

So just monitor. Watch yourself. You cannot be allergic to it, and it’s completely safe in that there’s no toxic level that builds up.

They’ve done a lot of safety studies on this, and people drink between four and eight ounces per day, and that’s just kind of up to you to do what you want to do. I’ll get into that in a moment, but you don’t need to worry about overdosing or having too much of it. And what are side effects? This stuff can’t hurt you.

All redox will do is amplify communication, helping your body to repair, helping things to get activated that were turned off. It can upregulate glutathione, which is the master antioxidant in the system, which detoxes the body. So, you might feel a slight detox.  It’s not a bad thing. It’s actually a good thing, but sometimes it’s not fun to go through. So just note that and drink more water.  We’ll cover DETOX in greater detail in another post.

All right, final questions…..How much should I take, and how long do I need to take it? All right, here’s what I would tell you based on that health tracker.  Stay on Asea for at least 90 days. 

(With the gel, you can see “instant gratification” and we can show you how, within minutes, you can see it working with simple strength tests, flexibility, using it for discomfort, or putting it on skin challenges.  Renu28 is a skin product that you certainly want to get your hands on, because you’ll see it working and feel it working faster than the liquid, because the liquid is taken internally, and the Renu28 gel is localized where you put it on your skin.)

The answer to “How much should I be drinking?”, is really going to depend on your age and what’s going on in your body.  Think about the analogy of a house.  As your house gets older, more issues pop up, and less people are coming onto the job site, right? So, as we get older, our bodies are slowly breaking down more, and there are less repair workers on the job.  The question is, how old are you, and how many repair workers are currently working? Every decade of life, our mitochondria lose about 10% of their numbers and strength….their effectiveness.  You’ve got about 1% less redox each year, so just evaluate where you are, and how much damage you feel there is going on in your body.   You could send one repairman to the job site. If there’s a lot of damage, it’s going to take time.  Wouldn’t it be better to send 10 repairmen?  And that’s what you’re doing by supplementing with liquid Asea. Four ounces might be it, or if you’ve got a lot going on, you might want eight ounces, or twelve, or sixteen.  Experiment with it, and you be the judge.  Go up and down. Test it.  You can’t overdose with any amount, and it’s totally safe, as it is native to your body.  You already have these molecules in your body, they’re simply not working as well as they did when you were younger.   Evaluate what’s best for you, and if you have questions, talk with the person that shared Asea Redox with you.
