Curcumin is the active compound found in turmeric, a healing spice that has been used for centuries. Longvida® is a specially formulated version of curcumin that enhances its bioavailability—meaning the body can absorb and utilize it more effectively. Unlike standard curcumin, Longvida® is designed to bypass the liver and remain in its free form, reaching target tissues more efficiently.

Benefits
-Cognitive and Eye Health: Significant improvements in working memory and mood among healthy older adults after 12 weeks of taking 400mg/day of Longvida®.

-Sports and Joint Health: Longvida® could reduce pain and improve function in patients with knee osteoarthritis comparable to ibuprofen over three months.

-Vascular Health: Improved endothelial function in middle-aged and older adults by increasing nitric oxide bioavailability over a 12-week period.

-Inflammatory Oral Health: Longvida® lozenges effectively increased mouth opening and reduced pain in patients with oral submucous fibrosis.

Derived from pomegranates, Pomella® Extract is a standardized supplement known for its high concentration of polyphenols, particularly punicalagins which are transformed into ellagitannins in the body. This extract is available in various forms, including capsules and powders, making it an accessible option for boosting antioxidant intake.

Benefits Include
-Cardiovascular and Glycemic Health: A randomized, double-blind study demonstrated that Pomella® significantly improved markers like blood glucose and HbA1c among diabetic patients with myocardial infarction over a month-long period.

-Dental and Oral Health: In dental health, Pomella® was shown to effectively reduce dental plaque and inhibit oral pathogens in a short study spanning only a few days.

-Gut and Skin Health: Highlighting its impact on skin health and the gut microbiome, Pomella® was found to reduce wrinkle severity and significantly alter gut bacteria favorably over four weeks.

UC-II® undenatured type II collagen is a patented form of collagen that retains its native, or undenatured, form. It is derived primarily from chicken sternum, where it maintains the integrity of its biologically active components. Unlike hydrolyzed collagen, UC-II® is presented to the immune system in its undenatured form, which makes it uniquely effective.

Benefits
-Improved Joint Mobility and Comfort: Clinical trials have consistently shown that UC-II® improves knee joint extension, reduces pain, and enhances overall mobility.

-Post-Exercise Recovery: It significantly helps with recovery post-exercise, making it ideal not only for those with joint issues but also for active adults.

Wellmune® is a natural immune health ingredient derived from the cell wall of a proprietary strain of baker’s yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae. It comes in two forms: dispersible, which is suitable for food and certain beverage applications, and water-soluble, for clear beverage products. This ingredient is known for its broad regulatory approvals, including GRAS status in the U.S. and novel food approval in Europe and China.

Benefits
-A study involving marathon runners showed that Wellmune® reduced the severity and duration of upper respiratory tract infections (URTI) symptoms by 19% and 10% respectively, compared to a placebo.

-Research with adults of average fitness levels demonstrated a significant immune boost, with a 43% increase in killer T-cells post-exercise.

-In older adults, Wellmune® was shown to significantly reduce the number of URTI symptom days.

-Studies with children highlighted a reduction in common childhood illness episodes, with significant improvements in overall health status.

-Wellmune® also proved effective in reducing allergy symptoms among ragweed allergy sufferers, significantly decreasing nasal and eye symptoms .
