Phosphatidylserine is a glycerophospholipid consisting of two fatty acid molecules bonded to a glycerol molecule and an ethanolamine phosphate molecule. Present mainly in the central nervous system and in the brain, phosphatidylserine plays a primary role in cell membranes (especially neurons), regulating their integrity and permeability. There are several beneficial properties attributed to this substance:
Read morePerna Canaliculus is a mollusk (mussel), from which the pure extract is produced, which has anti-inflammatory activity against rheumatic diseases, arthrosis, joint damage and osteoporosis. In addition to its anti-inflammatory action, the perna extract provides nutrients (amino acids, essential acids, minerals, etc.) capable of improving and preventing the alterations of cartilage and connective tissue. By
Read morePapain is a proteolytic enzyme found in papaya juice. Papain has numerous biological properties, including anti-inflammatory and anti-edemic properties, that is, it promotes the reabsorption of edema, ecchymosis and subcutaneous infiltrates. Its main use currently is related to the digestive capacity of the molecule, so it is present in many preparations to improve the digestion
Read morePalmitoylethanolamide (PEA) is an endogenous lipid compound (amide of a fatty acid) that has analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties, which inhibits the release of pro-inflammatory mediators by mast cells, immune cells believed to be involved in the onset and maintenance of pain neuropathic. Scientific studies have shown its effectiveness in the treatment of chronic pain syndromes
Read moreOctacosanol belongs to the group of policosanols, substances obtained by extraction from cereals. The main benefit that would derive from the consumption of policosanols concerns the lowering of the levels of total cholesterol and Ldl cholesterol (or the Low density lipoprotein cholesterol, the so-called “bad cholesterol”) and the simultaneous increase of “good” cholesterol (Hdl, High
Read moreIt is made from shark liver oil and is a long-chain monounsaturated fatty acid significantly present in nerve tissue and brain white matter. Its main functions are: Regeneration of the myelin sheath, general improvement of brain functions, reduction of total blood cholesterol, adjuvant treatment in neuro-muscular pathologies (including muscular dystrophy), adjuvant of growth and brain
Read moreAs the name suggests, milk proteins are the proteins found in milk. In particular, there are supplements based on whey proteins, the aqueous portion that separates from the rennet during the preparation of cheeses. Whey proteins help improve nutrition; it also appears to have a positive effect on the immune system. Their intake is proposed
Read moreThe function of methylsulfonylmethane is to provide the body with the sulfur necessary for the production of other molecules. Its proposed applications are numerous, from combating chronic pain to inflammation, passing through the treatment of type 2 diabetes, liver disorders, autoimmune diseases and Alzheimer’s.The data in the scientific literature suggest that it could be really
Read moreMelatonin is a hormone produced by our body that helps maintain and restore the correct balance between sleep and wakefulness. Melatonin is mainly used for: sleep and circadian rhythm disturbances, sleep difficulties, insomnia, jet lag, sleep disturbances due to work shifts, sleep disturbances in the blind, sleep-wake cycle disturbances in children with disabilities. (CAS No.:73-31-4)
Read moreMedium Chain Triglycerides or MCTs are defined as saturated fatty acids with 6-12 carbon atoms. Medium-chain triglycerides have a predominantly energetic function and thus represent an alternative and / or complementary metabolic pathway to the intake of sugars and starches, allowing a saving of glycogen, but also of amino acids in the muscle. Furthermore, compared
