Evidence for the Health Effects of Hesperidin

Hesperidin is a flavonoid, a type of plant compound that has been shown to have a wide range of health benefits. It is found primarily in citrus fruits, such as oranges, lemons, grapefruit, and limes. Hesperidin exhibits anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activity, protecting cells from two key contributors to the onset of age-related and chronic diseases: inflammation and oxidative stress.

Research-Backed Benefits of Ashwagandha

Modern research supports the traditional uses of Ashwaganda, showing it may help reduce stress, anxiety, fatigue, improve cognitive function, boost the immune system, and help manage blood sugar levels.

NMN Reduces Heart Failure and Extends Lifespan in Mice

“These results suggest that NMN treatment functionally ameliorated or prevented exacerbation of heart failure in p32 cardiomyocyte–specific knockout mice, thereby prolonging their lifespan.”

Quercetin Prevents Bone Loss and Preserves Cartilage in Rats

This study showed that Quercetin protected rats with osteoarthritis against bone and cartilage damage by reducing inflammation and modulating levels of proteins associated with cartilage health.

NMN Improves Blood Pressure in Humans with Hypertension

“Overall, the present study may shed new light on novel strategies in which NAD+ boosting therapy, including NMN supplement and CD38 inhibition, may turn out to be a promising therapeutic measure to treat patients with hypertension.”

The Science Behind 5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP)

5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) is a natural substance that the body makes to produce serotonin, a neurotransmitter that helps regulate mood, sleep, appetite, and pain.

Supplementation with 5-HTP has shown to increase levels of serotonin in the body, which has potential benefits for a number of conditions.

Study Shows NR Improves Glucose, Lipids, And Body Composition in Mice On A High-Fat Diet

This study showed that NR supplementation protected mice from HFD-induced metabolic dysfunction, specifically through protecting mitochondrial function in the skeletal muscle. 

Apigenin Balances the Gut Microbiome and Improves Ulcerative Colitis in Mice

This study examined the effects of Apigenin on inflammation, gut barrier integrity, and the gut microbiome in mice with ulcerative colitis (UC). 

The Role of Resveratrol in Healthy Aging and Metabolism

More than  240 clinical trials have been conducted to understand the potential health effects of Resveratrol. Evidence suggests Resveratrol may enhance longevity, heart health, glucose and fat metabolism, and bone health.

Study Reveals New Technique to Quickly and Accurately Measure Blood NAD+ Levels

This study revealed a new technique to quickly, accurately, and inexpensively test blood NAD+ levels in humans to allow repeated testing throughout the day in clinical settings, and eventually at home.
Using this method, they were able to identify 6 different combinations of molecules that can be used to “reset” the age of cells to a youthful, healthy state.

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.
