Octacosanol 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

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 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
