Metabolic Health
Protein powders are ubiquitous in today’s wellness and performance landscape, used not only by athletes but also by individuals who seek to support healthy aging, as well as muscle and metabolic health. However, not all scoops are created equal. The difference between a clean, clinically supportive

The skin is the body’s largest organ and undergoes many changes as we age. Skin aging can occur from the outside (photoaging) and inside (internal aging), contributing to skin changes such as wrinkles, dullness, fine lines, and impaired healing. Photoaging occurs due to external and environmental fa
Nutrition Notes
The skin is the body’s largest organ and undergoes many changes during aging. When considering the importance of nutrition and skin health, five foundational focus areas should be discussed: nourishing the skin, hormonal health balance, strengthening the gut-skin connection, fortifying the skin barr

The skin is the body’s largest organ and undergoes many changes during aging. The skin ages from the outside (photoaging) and inside (internal aging), contributing to skin changes such as wrinkles, dullness, fine lines, and impaired healing. Photoaging occurs due to external factors, such as sunligh
Amino Acids
Creatine monohydrate stands out as one of the most renowned ergogenic aids, and its reputation is well-deserved. This blend of the amino acids (methionine, glycine, and arginine) has undergone extensive examination for its impact on sports performance. However, what many people overlook is the broad
Amino Acids
Creatine is endogenously formed from the amino acids arginine, glycine, and methionine, and is involved in muscular contraction; approximately 95% is stored in skeletal muscle, particularly type 2 fibers. Two-thirds of intramuscular creatine is phosphocreatine (PCr) and the remaining one-third is fr
Nutrition Notes
The skin is composed of three layers: epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis. The dermis is the largest of the three skin layers and contains a high amount of collagen. During the aging process or exposure to certain environmental factors including UV light, the skin’s collagen structure may degrade or a
Science Update
Changes to bone integrity may occur throughout adulthood as a result of some modifiable and nonmodifiable risk factors; these include aging, certain concurrent illnesses, and genetics. Lifestyle factors such as physical activity and nutritional intake are thought to play a critical role in bone heal
Nutrition Notes
Silicon is present in all healthy tissues in the body, including hair, skin, and nails. But as part of the aging process, the cellular presence of silicon decreases over time. Evidence suggests that certain micronutrients such as silicon may help support cellular health and potentially prevent age-r
Amino Acids
Taurine, a sulfur-containing amino acid, has come to the forefront for its potential support of menopausal women by promoting menopausal comfort and healthy aging. Taurine is one of the most abundant free amino acids in the brain, skeletal, and cardiac muscles. In nature, it is found exclusively in
