Science Update
Inositol is a molecule with a similar structure as B vitamins that is critical for optimal cellular health. It is found in most vegetable and animal cells and helps support second-messenger signaling pathways, cellular development and structure, antioxidative status, and a healthy inflammatory respo
Blood Sugar Management
Explore how berberine supports gut health, blood sugar management, and lipid metabolism, revealing its potential benefits for overall wellness and aging.
Blood Sugar Management
Explore how selenium supplementation may enhance ovarian health and support metabolic balance in individuals with PCOS, according to recent research findings.
Science Update
High-intensity physical exercise has the potential to cause certain temporary cellular changes including increased cellular metabolism, the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), muscle soreness, and exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD). Recent research indicates that certain micronutrients s
Science Update
Manufactured light sources such as mobile devices, LED lights, computers, and other screens emit light in the blue range of the visible spectrum. Prolonged exposure to blue light may be potentially damaging to the eye due to changes caused by oxidative stress and the potential induction of an inflam
Blood Sugar Management
The gut microbiome contains trillions of microbes that produce chemicals, often referred to as metabolites, that support the health of the host. Gut microbial metabolites have been shown in recent studies to help support antioxidative status, the inflammatory response, gastrointestinal (GI) health,
CoQ10
Clinical research has linked cardiovascular health with antioxidative status, cellular health, and a healthy inflammatory response. Certain micronutrients, such as selenium and coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), have been shown to help promote antioxidative status and cellular health. Research indicates they may
Science Update
The aging brain can be sensitive to nutritional status and other subtle changes to lifestyle habits. Certain fruits, vegetables, seeds, teas, and cocoa contain bioactive chemicals called flavanols that may help support antioxidative status, a normal inflammatory response, and many other aspects of h
Science Update
Bone health is dependent on a dynamic balance between cellular activity, nutrient availability, existing structure, and signaling from genes and cellular pathways. As we age, certain lifestyle factors such as physical activity and nutritional status may influence bone integrity and overall health. E
Science Update
Changes in lipid metabolism can be due to age, lifestyle factors, or other systemic conditions and may increase the risk of certain cardiovascular disorders. Specific vitamins, minerals, and other nutraceuticals have been recently studied for their potential to help support lipid homeostasis. A rece
