Creatine

Creatine is one of the best-known and most extensively researched sports supplements. It helps the body to provide energy quickly in the short term, enables more intense training sessions and can therefore promote muscle strength, explosive power and muscle growth.…

Longevity – Boosting mitochondrial health

Although life expectancy has risen in recent decades, healthy life expectancy has hardly increased. Age-related conditions such as cardiovascular problems, metabolic disorders and neurodegenerative changes are often linked to a decline in NAD⁺ levels and the cells’ ability to cope with oxidative stress. Targeted support for these processes by increasing NAD⁺ levels and antioxidant protection can improve cellular energy supply and help prevent age-related diseases. Substances such as nicotinamide riboside and ergothioneine, in particular, offer promising approaches to promoting cell health and, consequently, healthier ageing.

Collagen

Collagen is the most common structural protein in the human body and ensures the firmness and stability of skin, connective tissue, cartilage, and tendons. With age, the body's own production decreases – visibly and noticeably in wrinkles, weak tissue, or joint problems. In this article, you will learn why collagen is so important, how the body produces it, and how a targeted diet or supplementation can help.

Choline

Choline is a central component of phospholipids and therefore of cell membranes. The micronutrient is important for the elasticity and stability of these cell walls. Choline also influences the functions of the brain, the nervous system, the liver, the cardiovascular system, DNA synthesis and cell growth.

Vitamin B complex

The vitamin B complex is essential for the metabolism and numerous bodily functions. Among other things, the B vitamins support energy metabolism and the nervous system and are known as "anti-stress vitamins".

Garlic (black, fermented)

Black garlic guarantees a whole range of interesting health benefits. With its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-hypertensive and cholesterol-lowering effects, it is used in particular for problems of the cardiovascular system.

Selenium

The trace element selenium plays a key role in various bodily functions. Unfortunately, a deficiency is widespread in this country. Supporting the body with a selenium-containing dietary supplement can be important for the immune system or the thyroid gland, among other things.

Longevity – Active ingredients to reduce AGEs

AGEs are involved in a large number of diseases of civilisation and typical age-related diseases and yet are virtually unknown among doctors. Dr Achim Refisch has spent the last few years intensively studying AGEs and their health risks. He has developed a natural strategy on how the development of AGEs can be specifically stopped at many points in the metabolism using phytochemicals (multitasking principle).

Quercetin

The phytochemical is found in many plant-based foods, is well researched and has various interesting health-promoting effects.
