Sodium Hyaluronate is a sodium salt derived from Hyaluronic acid, which is a medium – high molecular weight polysaccharide. Sodium Hyaluronate is a highly hygroscopic hydrophilic molecule; this means that one molecule of sodium hyaluronate can hold up to 10,000 molecules of water. The different molecular weights intervene at a different level of the epidermis,
Read moreDue to the volatile and pungent nature of the substance, butyric acid products are normally used in the form of sodium salt. Butyric acid is a short-chain fatty acid, sometimes referred to as butanoic acid. It is found in small quantities in some foods (especially dairy products) and in the human body is produced in
Read moreFucus (Fucus vesiculosus) or sea oak is an alga with flattened and elongated leaves, rich in iodine, which grows along the coasts of the temperate and cold seas of the Northern hemisphere and is found in abundance in the English Channel. Sea oak acts in a particular way on the thyroid, which uses its richness
Read moreS-adenosyl-l-methionine is a derivative of methionine and a cofactor for multiple synthesis pathways, in particular as a donor of the methyl group. It is produced naturally in the body, mainly by the liver, and artificially in supplement form. S-adenosyl-l-methionine is believed to be effective for the treatment of depression, osteoarthritis, cholestasis and liver disease. Furthermore,
Read moreGlutathione is a substance naturally produced by the liver that is also present in some foods (fruit, vegetables and meats). From a chemical point of view it is a tripeptide formed by the amino acids cysteine, glycine and glutamate. S-acetyl glutathione (SAG) is the new superior alternative to reduced glutathione intake. Several studies have in
Read moreResveratrol is a substance that is naturally produced by various plants, such as grapevines, blackberries and cocoa, for protective purposes against pathogens such as bacteria or fungi. It is a non-flavonoid phenol. Resveratrol has several biological activities: it has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, it is protective for blood vessels and is able to stimulate a
Read moreGlutathione is a substance naturally produced by the liver that is also present in some foods (fruit, vegetables and meats). From a chemical point of view it is a tripeptide formed by the amino acids cysteine, glycine and glutamate. Glutathione is primarily known for its function as a natural antioxidant produced by the body itself.
Read moreQuercetin is a bioflavonoid, naturally occurring in fruit and vegetables, and in particular foods such as apples and onions are rich in it, but also capers, grapes, green tea, blueberries, propolis, celery and citrus fruits. Quercetin, like many other flavonoids, is an antioxidant substance with antiatherogenic and antitumor properties. It is also neurologically active, with
Read moreThis molecule is obtained from the esterification of carnitine with propionic acid. This bond makes the substance particularly lipophilic and able to pass cell membranes to a greater extent even acetyl-carnitine. This particular form of carnitine has a series of specific activities in addition to the typical properties of carnitine itself. Several studies have already
Read morePhytosterols are a group of chemical compounds of plant origin (which includes stigmasterol, campesterol, sitosterol) present in the seeds produced by certain plants, such as soy. Because they are found in significant quantities in various foods, including tree nuts, vegetable oils and grains, they are easily consumed through food. Phytosterols are used as ingredients in
