Health, Enzymes / Nikolay Bondarenko / 15.11.2025 /

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.

Next-Generation postbiotics: metabolites, signal peptides and short-chain fatty acids

Vitamins, Premium, Health / Nikolay Bondarenko / 31.10.2025 /

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 […]
