Exciting new research has been published (April 2025) demonstrating how Witholytin®, our branded, natural ashwagandha, significantly influences mitochondria in cortical neurons whilst also potentially bolstering stress adaptation and neuroprotection.

Data suggests these effects are driven by interactions with Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) which are essential for neuron support and growth, and Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) signalling which is crucial for neuronal development and metabolic balance during aging.

These initial findings propose that Witholytin® could enhance the creation of new mitochondria (mitochondrial biogenesis) and also improve neuroenergetics – the production, distribution and utilisation of energy within the brain – in cortical circuits.

Beyond water and electrolytes, iodine is a key – often overlooked – component of hydration. Best known for supporting thyroid health, iodine is essential for producing hormones like T4 and T3, which regulate metabolism and influence how cells manage water¹.

Our recently launched, innovative PureSea® Protect – a microencapsulated seaweed – is a natural source of iodine that blends easily into a variety of delivery formats, offering excellent water dispersion without the typical taste or aroma of the sea plus the benefit of a neutral colour. It’s an ideal choice for hydration or active nutrition blends and may help support water balance and metabolism.

A healthy thyroid, supported by adequate iodine, may help promote proper fluid distribution and kidney function.
