You’ve heard the saying… ‘An apple a day keeps the doctor away.’ So, where does that come from and what exactly does it mean?
The apple has been part of Western art, literature and medicine throughout history. Norse gods believed apples granted them immortality. Even the Arabian Nights feature a magic apple that can heal disease.
It’s thought that the proverb, ‘an apple a day keeps the doctor away’ originated in Wales in the 1860s. But back then the saying was slightly different… Rather, it was ‘eat an apple when going to bed and you will keep the doctor from earning his bread.’
Either way, both sayings suggest the same thing: There’s something special about apples and you have the power to take control of your health with them.
Apple consumption has been the subject of many medical studies. A rich source of phytochemicals, apples are linked to a number of potential benefits, including the following aspects of health:
-
Cardiovascular health
-
Weight management
-
Glucose support
-
Respiratory health
-
Skin health
-
Strength and endurance
-
Oral health
Let’s look at what makes some apples so special…
From the Land of the Original Apple Comes the “Mother” Apple Extract
Apples contain three important polyphenols – procyanidins, carboxylic acids and catechins, all of which are strong antioxidants.
Yet not all apples are the same, nor do they contain similar amounts of polyphenols…
A typical whole apple contains about 85% water and the rest is starch, sugar and skin. At most – and even with an organic apple – you may receive 5% polyphenols by weight.
In contrast, the “mother” apple is considered the most nutritious apple in the world as it contains much higher levels of polyphenols – about 10 times the polyphenol content of any other apple.
So, what are these “mother” apples?
These special apples come from where all apples originated – Central Asia. The secret behind their notoriety is they are picked before they are mature, still green and bitter.Extremely small, these “mother” apples measure less than one inch in diameter when they are picked.
Why are they picked so early?
This pre-ripened stage happens to be when the polyphenols reach their peak, unlike other plants that may reach their peak nutrient density when they ripen.
Just like chocolate and other bitter foods, the more bitter the better. Bitter 80% dark chocolate contains more antioxidants than sweeter 50% chocolate. The same goes for these special apples, but unlike chocolate, these apples are so bitter, you probably wouldn’t enjoy eating them.
But the good news is you don’t have to eat them. Instead, you can receive all the goodness these amazing apples offer in a whole fruit extract that captures the most valuable nutritional components.
Is This Apple Extract Too Good to Be True?
The whole fruit extract from these special apples is called ApplePhenon® and is protected by three U.S. – and five international – patents.
ApplePhenon® is carefully extracted from whole, specially selected unripe green apples (and not just from the peels like some other products) using a proprietary gentle extraction process.
The gentle extraction process preserves the highest concentration of apple polyphenols, strong antioxidant activity and an optimized profile of proanthocyanidins.
The polyphenols remain biologically active – just as they were in the original “mother” apples.
Keep in mind, whenever a word starts with “poly,” it means “many.” And when there are many nutrients present in a natural substance, you can benefit from a quality called synergy.
Synergy is when one nutrient helps the others perform better than they would on their own – not unlike a team of athletes who complement each other with their skills.
With a total of about 60% polyphenols, this extraordinary apple fruit extract boasts an impressive lineup of active constituents, including different types of procyanidins and proanthocyanidins.
When compared to other conventional apple extracts, spectrophotometric analysis shows this patented apple extract contains substantially higher levels of polyphenols, specifically proanthocyanidins.
While other botanicals may also have high levels of proanthocyanidins, such as green tea, grapeseed, cacao, pine bark and blackcurrant extracts, apple fruit extract shows much higher antioxidant activity.
This apple fruit extract is also more bioavailable that other extracts containing polyphenols. So, compared with many other antioxidant supplements, the nutrients in this apple extract are absorbed into your bloodstream, through which they travel throughout your body and go to work.
Why We Use the Whole Apple and Not Just the Peels
The fruit body of these special apples contains unique nutritional compounds that can’t be found in the peel. These include…
-
Mangiferin – Typically found in mango leaves and mango tree bark, it is shown to support healthy blood glucose levels, metabolism, and helps rein in damaging free radicals.*
-
Procyanidin B2 – This helps prevent the formation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs), especially carboxymethyl lysine and methylglyoxal, which are associated with age-related decline in performance, cognition and immune health.*
-
Epicatechin – Also found in green tea, it supports healthy hormone levels and a healthy, normal balance of testosterone and estrogen. It’s also been shown to enhance performance and activates AMPkinase, which helps your body to better utilize stored triglycerides as fuel, resulting in fat burning.*
-
Phloretin and phlorizin – These two compounds support blood sugar management, metabolic homeostasis and may slow weight gain.*
-
Chlorogenic acid – Typically found in green coffee beans, it is a powerful antioxidant that supports nerve and brain health, and promotes healthy blood pressure levels already in the normal range.*
-
Coumaroylquinic acid – This unique compound supports a healthy, normal inflammatory response and helps you manage stress.*
So, it just makes sense – from a nutritional standpoint – to use the whole apple instead of just the peels.

Biothin® Wildcrafted Apple Extract Targets the “Smart 7”
Best of all, the amazing health benefits of this unique apple extract are supported by more than 50 studies, 17 of which are state-of the-art human studies using the gold standard of scientific research – double-blind, placebo-controlled studies.
So, what’s been the center of all these studies?
Focusing on the “Smart 7” aspects of health, this unique “mother” apple extract shows exciting promise for:
-
Cardiovascular health, healthy blood flow and lipid metabolism* (3 human studies and 6 supporting trials)
-
Glucose support* (1 human study and 1 supporting trial)
-
Weight and visceral fat management* (2 human studies and 7 supporting trials)
-
Respiratory and seasonal health* (3 human studies and 6 supporting trials)
-
Internal skin health and beauty from within* (2 human study and 2 supporting trials)
-
Athletic performance, strength and endurance* (3 human studies and 2 supporting trials)
-
Oral health* (2 human studies and 3 supporting trials)
Biothin® Wildcrafted Apple Extract contains 600 mg of unripe Apple Fruit Extract per two-capsule serving and is standardized to 360 mg (60%) of health-supporting polyphenols – the same dosage used in most of the studies.
Let’s look at what I consider the top three potential benefits of Biothin® Wildcrafted Apple Extract…
Support Your Cardiovascular and Blood Vessel Health with Apple Fruit Extract
Did you know that every organ in your body can only be as healthy as the blood vessels supplying it?
So, it only goes to say that the healthier your blood vessels, the healthier your brain, eyes, heart, skin, muscles, joints as well as every other tissue and organ.
The health of your blood vessels depends upon a smooth vessel lining, called the endothelium. The smoother and more flexible the lining, the better the blood flow.
It’s not uncommon to get a build-up of sticky stuff and lipids in your vessel linings and the walls of your arteries. This can lead to less blood flow to your organs. And that can lead to issues with those organs.
This patented apple fruit extract has been shown in human studies to support blood vessel and arterial health as well as normal blood flow throughout your body.*
Apple extract also supports healthy lipid metabolism, including already healthy levels of LDL and HDL cholesterol.*
How does the apple extract in Biothin® Wildcrafted Apple Extract deliver these types of potential benefits?
The answer can be found in its two protective properties – its impressive antioxidant effects and the ability to promote an already healthy inflammatory response.*
Help Support Normal Glucose Levels with Biothin® Wildcrafted Apple Extract
If you’re like most adults, you may have concerns about…
-
Achieving and maintaining your ideal weight.
-
Getting rid of that stubborn fat around your midsection.
-
Rising blood sugar levels.
-
Cravings for carbs and sweets.
-
Feeling tired or experiencing energy slumps and crashes.
These are all classic signs of poor metabolic health. You’re not alone if you’re experiencing one or more of these signs. Over 14 out of 15 Americans are considered metabolically challenged – even if they are of normal weight.
That’s right. You don’t need to be overweight to be metabolically inflexible with elevated blood lipid and glucose levels. It’s estimated that 40% of normal weight individuals – and 80% of obese individuals – are metabolically unfit.
Metabolic issues, such as high blood sugar levels, can affect your long-term health in multiple ways. Failing to optimize your blood sugar can lead to damaged blood vessels and nerves and a higher risk for cardiovascular and other issues.
High levels of glucose can even damage your cells, and that can affect your immune health.
High blood sugar levels can harm proteins in your body in a process called glycation. This speeds up body aging and can affect how you look and feel. Fatigue, joint discomfort, poor circulation, vision problems, brain fog and cognition issues are all signs that glycation may be occurring in your body.
The good news is apple fruit extract has been tested in four out of five of the typical risk factors for metabolic issues and has been validated.*
A dose of 600 mg per day of Biothin® Wildcrafted Apple Extract was shown in studies to support healthy blood sugar metabolism when used regularly.*
Promote Healthy Weight Management – and a Slimmer Waistline
A hallmark sign of metabolic inflexibility is the presence of visceral fat, or – as it’s commonly called – belly fat.
Visceral fat wraps around your internal organs and deposits itself deep down in the spaces of your abdominal cavity.
Unlike subcutaneous fat, which lies just beneath your skin, visceral fat can put your health at risk. Belly fat is what makes a normal weight individual metabolically unfit.
These fat cells in your abdomen are different from other fat cells in your body – they are biologically active and produce their own hormones and other substances as if they were their own organ.
What makes belly fat so bad and even dangerous is it can release potentially harmful free fatty acids. And because visceral fat is typically located near your portal vein, these fatty acids can travel to your liver and adversely affect your body’s blood lipids.
In a landmark study, 600 mg of Biothin® Wildcrafted Apple Extract per day was shown to effectively promote healthy weight management – including maintaining healthy levels of visceral fat in ‘big-belly’ individuals – within an 8 to 12 week time frame.*
Much like a restricted food diet, Biothin® Wildcrafted Apple Extract helps support healthy normal fatty acid synthesis at the genetic level.*
Apple fruit extract also promotes a healthy gut microbiota balance to support your metabolic health as well as weight management.*
Help Boost Your Strength and Endurance with Apple Fruit Extract
Want to increase your strength and reduce fatigue? This patented apple extract may help, whether you are a competitive athlete or just want greater strength.*
In a short study that lasted only eight days, subjects were divided into three groups. One took 1200 mg of apple extract, another took 1000 mg of ascorbic acid, and the third group took a placebo (most likely sugar).
Using a bicycle ergometer, the subjects did a two-hour workload trial at the beginning of the study and then again at the end of the two-hour period.
The individuals taking the apple extract performed better during the ten second maximum velocity test than the subjects taking placebo or ascorbic acid.*
In another study – also a short, eight-day trial involving cycling – a group of non-athletic individuals aged 18 to 60 took either apple extract, CoQ10 or placebo. The apple extract group was able to pedal faster and longer than the other groups.*
So, if you are an athlete, apple extract can help you maintain endurance and get a last-minute surge of stamina during extended events, such as marathons.
Or, for non-athletes, Biothin® Wildcrafted Apple Extract can help you through your workout – or simply your daily routine – and help you reach your fitness goals.
