How to support the pancreas, avoid heaviness after meals, and improve nutrient absorption. Introduction Winter is a season of hearty, fatty, and calorie-dense foods.Even healthy people experience increased strain on the pancreas — the main source of digestive enzymes.The result: heaviness after meals, bloating, drowsiness, and nutrient deficiencies despite a full diet. This is where […]
How the “calm molecule” supports the nervous system, hormonal balance, and sleep. Introduction November is a month when most people experience emotional fatigue, anxiety, sleep disturbances, and mood swings.The reason is not only the lack of daylight. The nervous system consumes more energy, and the balance of neurotransmitters changes.One of the nutrients that helps gently […]
How natural enzymes of youth protect cells from aging and restore energy at the molecular level Introduction We often hear about antioxidants — vitamin C, polyphenols, resveratrol.But the true “guardians of youth” are not external substances but enzymes produced by our own body: superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase, and glutathione reductase. These three enzymes work as […]
A cellular antioxidant that protects us from aging, toxins, and stress Introduction Every cell in our body encounters free radicals daily — byproducts of metabolism, pollution, stress, infections, and even intense workouts.When there are too many of them, cells get damaged, proteins oxidize, and DNA mutates. That’s why nature created an internal antioxidant shield — […]
In autumn, especially from November, our diet becomes heavier: more meat, grains, fatty and hot dishes. The body responds with a slowdown in gastric juice secretion, and the liver and pancreas receive double the workload.That is why digestive enzymes are not just “post-holiday pills,” but a scientifically proven way to support digestive physiology during seasonal […]
We are used to talking about probiotics (live bacteria) and prebiotics (their “food”). But modern science has taken the next step — postbiotics. These are ready-made bioactive substances produced by bacteria during fermentation: short-chain fatty acids (SCFA), signaling peptides, enzymes, cell fragments, and neurotransmitter metabolites. Unlike probiotics, postbiotics do not require bacterial survival in the […]
After the age of 40, men’s testosterone levels naturally decline by approximately 1–2% per year, which manifests as reduced energy, muscle mass, libido, concentration, and mood.This is not a pathology but a part of the aging process — however, hormonal balance can be supported naturally using nutraceuticals that influence the hypothalamus–pituitary–gonadal axis and stress–cortisol–testosterone axis. […]
The science of epigenetics has transformed our understanding of how the environment affects health. If the genetic code is the “letters,” then epigenetics is the punctuation that decides what will be read.It has been proven that nutrition, nutrients, and lifestyle directly influence gene expression, including genes responsible for inflammation, aging, detoxification, and metabolism. Next-generation nutraceutical […]
In a world of constant noise, messages, and news, calmness has become the new luxury.Modern people are looking for a way to relax — without sedative effects, without dependence, without losing focus. Two ingredients that have gained popularity among professionals and consumers — L-theanine (an amino acid from green tea) and magnesium (the anti-stress mineral).Together, […]
Autumn is the time when our body shifts into an “energy-saving mode”. We begin consuming more heavy foods, activity levels drop, and the digestive system becomes overloaded.During this period, complaints of bloating, stomach heaviness, and lack of energy become more frequent.One of the reasons is digestive enzyme deficiency — biological catalysts without which food cannot […]
Antioxidants have become an integral part of the healthy aging concept. But in 2025, a new player has come into focus — ergothioneine. It is called the “longevity vitamin” because this molecule can accumulate in mitochondria, the brain, liver, and skin, where it protects cells from oxidative stress and inflammation. At the Vitafoods Europe 2025 […]
In today’s world, we sleep less than ever before. The light from screens, night shifts, constant stress, and irregular eating disrupt the natural human biological clock — circadian rhythms. Their disruption leads not only to insomnia but also to issues with the skin, immunity, mood, and even metabolism. One of the key regulators of these […]
