We know taking care of a senior pet can be challenging at times, especially if they are in pain. Luckily, the correct dosage of MSM has been shown in studies to help relieve hip and joint pain in pets. This organic compound has traditionally been used in humans, and now it can be used to keep your pet in great health as well.

As your pets age, the natural degeneration of the muscles and joints can result in pain, stiffness, and a reduced quality of life. It’s no secret that every move our dog makes relies on healthy joints. As dogs age, cartilage begins to break down, causing joint damage and putting pressure on surrounding bones.

Iodine is an essential component of the thyroid hormones T3 and T4, meaning that inadequate intake can result in hypothyroidism (an underactive thyroid). Hypothyroidism can subsequently result in adverse effects on female fertility, by impairing the developmental process of ovarian follicles and ovulation.¹

Finding natural solutions to the increasing prevalence of iodine deficiency that can suit all dietary needs and improve fertility and pregnancy outcomes is of vital importance. One of the most natural solutions is through the use of PureSea® gold-standard seaweed ingredients in food supplements to provide a natural, plant-based source of iodine.

In published clinical trials, PureWay-C® has demonstrated to be more effective than other forms of vitamin C in multiple key areas. That is because PureWay-C® is the only vitamin C ingredient made using a proprietary fatty acid formulation scientifically researched to increase absorption and retention. Results from the scientific studies show:

- 233% higher retention by the human body than other ascorbate brands.

- 12% higher antioxidants delivered effectively when compared to other ascorbate brands.

- 12x more efficient at healthy neuron stimulation while promoting nerve reiteration.

- 40% faster fibroblast wound healing.

PureWay-C® is manufactured in the USA. It is vegan, allergen-free, GRAS affirmed and Kosher & Halal certified.

A new independent analysis compared PureSea® with white kidney bean extract (WKBE) in a model gut system. The study aimed to establish whether PureSea® was more effective at inhibiting amylase activity than other leading ingredients in the market. Scientific research has shown that white kidney bean extract can be effective at reducing amylase activity, which has led this ingredient to have a strong positioning within the ‘carbohydrate-blocker’ market.

The comparison of WKBE and PureSea® in an amylase activity assay found the rate of amylase inhibition by PureSea® to be over 5 times higher than that of WKBE. Furthermore, dose response data demonstrated that PureSea® was significantly more effective at reducing amylase activity than WKBE from concentrations of 1.25mg/ml to 10.0mg/ml.

These findings indicate that PureSea® could be a more effective choice than WKBE at inhibiting carbohydrate breakdown and reducing the rate at which sugar is released into the blood and opens opportunities for further clinical trials. Click here to read more information about PureSea® and its beneficial effects for healthy weight management.

PureSea® delivers natural health and wellness through gold-standard sustainable seaweed and its natural iodine levels also show beneficial effects for energy-yielding metabolism, with a small inclusion allowing for an EFSA approved health claim.

Ellagic acid is a natural phenol found in numerous fruits and vegetables. Most of the pomegranate extracts commercially available on the market are standardized to ellagic acid. So why is Pomella® standardized to Punicalagins?

Punicalagins are the primarily natural antioxidants of the pomegranate fruit. They are water-soluble, highly bioavailable, and supported by safety data. They are shown to possess a high absorption rate of up to 95%.

Not only do punicalagins offer a powerful kick of antioxidant properties on their own; they can breakup into smaller polyphenols, gut-derived metabolites known as urolithins, which are absorbed into the body and extensively metabolized. Consumption of ellagitannins can lead to the presence of urolithins for up to 7 days!¹  Furthermore, the symbiotic relationship between these phenolic compounds and gut microbiota have gained much attention due to their relevance to bioavailability and human health.
