NUTRACEUTICALS

We are focused on the research, development and production of natural ingredients with beneficial nutritional and health effects

Nutraceutical products list

Our products play a vital role in human health and longevity
Phosphatidylserine (PS) - NeuroPeak®
brain

Phosphatidylserine (PS) is a phospholipid that can be found in food and in high concentration in the brain where it carries messages between brain cells

memory

It improves cognitive activity and cognitive aging, memory and attention

hormones

It balances cortisol levels to help normalize the sleep cycle and it reduces stress

Methyltetrahydrofolate (MTHF) - Folmidable®
food

Methyltetrahydrofolate (MTHF) is a natural product and the biological active form of the folic acid (vitamin B9) and it plays an important role in the DNA replication and cell subdivision cycle

fetus

Supplementation of MTHF during pregnancy reduces many neural tube defects in infants such as spina bifida as well as oral and urinary tract defects

fruit

Due to the inability of humans to synthesise folate, it has be obtained from the diet or from a food supplement to prevent cardiovascular diseases, regulate homocysteine levels and help individuals with the enzymatic deficits

Spermidine
age

Spermidine is a natural compound found in food such as soy products, sunflower, mushrooms, legumes and whole grain. It has a global effect on human health by slowing down the general clock of the aging process and extending longevity

heart

Studies show that it has a positive effect on cellular fitness being engaged in cardiovascular function, reduces cancer-related mortality and delays neurodegeneration[1]

memory

Research also has shown that its supplementation has a positive impact on memory performance in the aging population as it declines the progression to dementia and promotes a cognitive and brain health[2]

Oleoylethanolamide (OEA)
food

Oleoylethanolamide is a natural product derived from the metabolism of oleic acid which is the most common monounsaturated fatty acid found in nature

appetite

OEA has been used in antiobesity therapies due to its effect in the regulation of body weight by suppressing appetite[3]

alcohol addiction

OEA is a potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant compound which has been studied for its effects to treat alcohol-use disorders[4]

Palmitoylethanolamide (PEA) - RePEA®
fruit

PEA is a food component synthesised and metabolised in animals and present in plants

pain

It inhibits mastocites degranulation which leads to a number of health benefits in controlling inflammation and pain

nobel prize logo

Following the work of Rita Levi-Moltancini, a Nobel prize winner, the scientific community started to carry out studies for PEA as a natural analgesic and anti inflammatory agent
