Palmitoylethanolamide (P.E.A.) Reduces Inflammation and Anxiety in Obese Mice

This study showed that P.E.A. protected mice from HFD-induced anxiety-like behavior and inflammation. “As our data demonstrated, the blunted synthesis of pro-inflammatory cytokines by PEA can stop this vicious cycle among brain immune cells, limiting the progression of enduring neuroinflammation.”

Coenzyme Q10 and Migraine Relief

A clinical trial examined Coenzyme Q10’s (CoQ10’s) effects on episodic migraines in women, finding significant reductions in migraine frequency, duration, severity. CoQ10 also reduced the levels of TNF-ɑ and CGRP, a peptide linked to migraines that promotes inflammation and pain signaling. 

Study Shows Resveratrol Preserves Muscle Health in Aged Mice

Resveratrol supplementation effectively protected mice against age-related muscle mass loss, heart cell enlargement, and motor dysfunction.

Coenzyme Q10 in Aging, Heart Health, and Fertility

CoQ10 may extend its potential benefits beyond its traditional role in energy production. Emerging research suggests it could provide cardioprotective effects and reduce migraine symptoms. Moreover, its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties have shown promise in addressing age-related disorders and various diseases.

Study Shows NMN Protects Against Lung Damage in Mice

Oral administration of NMN (500 mg/kg) effectively preserved NAD+ tissue and plasma levels during PM exposure and protected against pulmonary fibrosis in mice.

Study Finds Liposomal Berberine Improves Glucose, Lipids, and Inflammation in Rats

“In an animal model of type 2 diabetes, the intragastric delivery of Lip-BBR via liposomes exhibited remarkable protective effects against hepatic tissue damage, steatosis, inflammation, insulin resistance, and hepatocellular enzyme imbalance.”

The Comprehensive Effects of Berberine for Metabolic Health

Berberine is a bioactive compound found in many plants, including goldenseal, Oregon grape, and barberry. It has been recognized for its health benefits for centuries, with its earliest known therapeutic use dating back to A.D. 200.  Today, Berberine continues to be an exciting focus of health and wellness research, with many studies investigating its potential for maintaining metabolic health.

Palmitoylethanolamide (PEA) in Pain Relief, Gut Health, and Neuroprotection

Palmitoylethanolamide (PEA) is a natural compound that your body produces in response to various forms of cellular damage. Its primary role is to promote homeostasis, which is the body’s ability to maintain a stable and balanced internal environment for optimal functioning and overall wellness. 

Therapeutic Potential of Quercetin in Allergy Management and Inflammation

Quercetin, a bioactive compound found in various fruits and vegetables, has attracted significant attention for its potential therapeutic effects against allergies. 

Study Finds Berberine Improves Obesity, Glucose, Lipids, & Liver Health in Mice

“Recent studies showed that BBR significantly reduced liver steatosis, improved insulin resistance, alleviated glucose and lipid metabolism disorders, and exhibited therapeutic effects on NAFLD in humans and mice.”

Study Shows Spermidine Enhances Blood Flow Recovery and Promotes Blood Vessel Generation in Aged Mice

A recent study evaluated the therapeutic efficacy of Spermidine for blood flow recovery and blood vessel growth after artificially blocked blood flow in mice.

“Spermidine is a naturally occurring polyamine that has shown substantial evidence of anti-aging properties”

Study Shows NR Protects the Intestine From Damage Caused by Excessive Alcohol Intake

NR Preserved Intestinal Lining Integrity During Excessive Alcohol Intake

“In particular, the intestine, as the main organ of ethanol absorption, is susceptible to serious injury from excess drinking.”

When mice were given alcohol without NR supplementation, it led to higher levels of intestinal contents entering their bloodstream, suggesting damage to the intestinal lining.
