About
Welcome. This is a blog about health science, human physiology, and nutrition, with a focus on alternative medicine and life extension. It’s an outgrowth of Nutrition Review, a free online resource on the therapeutic application of nutritional supplements for preventing disease, enhancing health and extending life. We are particularly interested in groundbreaking herbal formulas designed by leading anti-aging scientists and herbal researchers from China – formulas that are modern versions of traditional essence herbs historically used to enhance energy, rejuvenate vitality and improve general health. This blog will be a general place where we can discuss various health related issues with Jim English, and others. Feel free to ask questions, make comments, etc.
Jim English
Jim English is a widely published nutritional-science editor and author of several books and articles on nutritional supplements. In 1991 Jim founded Smart Products, a unique company that introduced America to a number of novel supplements – many previously unavailable at the time – such as DHEA, melatonin and pregnenolone. In 1992, Jim was interviewed on the benefits of Ginkgo Biloba and other cognitive-enhancing supplements by Barbara Walters.
In 1993 Jim launched his first newsletter, IntelliScope. Dedicated to consumer education, IntelliScope avoided hype and published fully-referenced articles, product reviews, and ground-breaking interviews with leading antiaging researchers, such as Durk Pearson, Sandy Shaw, and Ward Dean, MD.
Jim has also served as editor of Focus on Health (Allergy Research Group/NutriCology), senior editor and writer for Vitamin Research News, and contributing writer for Life Extension Magazine. Recent publications include A Users Guide to Ginkgo Biloba, A Users Guide to Vitamin C, and several anthologies of collected articles (2000 and 2001), co-authored with Ward Dean, MD.
In addition to running Tango Advanced Nutrition, Jim also hosts Nutrition Review, a free online resource on the therapeutic application of nutritional supplements for preventing disease, enhancing health and extending life.
