Glutathione 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
Read morePhosphatidylserine 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
