Bidirecional Skincare with OptiMSM®

Recent advances in nutrition science reveal that skin health is not just about what we apply externally but also about how we nourish our bodies from within. Modern beauty routines are evolving, emphasizing the importance of combining topical skincare with dietary and supplemental nutrition to support skin vitality and combat aging.

One nutrient gaining attention is Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM), a natural source of sulfur. Sulfur plays a key role in maintaining the skin’s structure by supporting essential components like collagen, hyaluronic acid, and keratohyalin. Additionally, sulfur is vital for producing glutathione, a powerful antioxidant that helps protect the skin from oxidative stress. Emerging research suggests that MSM may support the body's antioxidant defenses, promoting healthy, more resilient skin from the inside out.

As we continue to explore the links between nutrition and skin health, the integration of dietary strategies into skincare could be a game-changer for achieving long-term radiance.

In today's world, we're constantly exposed to oxidative stressors through our diet, water, environment, and even the natural processes of aging and exercise. This exposure increases reactive oxygen species (free radicals) in our bodies, potentially overwhelming our natural antioxidant defenses.

Our skin is highly exposed to oxidative stressors. Supporting antioxidant status through balanced nutrition and targeted nutraceuticals may help mitigate the effects of free radicals.

Glutathione is the central component of one of the body’s most important antioxidant systems.

Glutathione is a primary endogenous antioxidant enzyme that is a first line of defense in neutralizing free radicals in the body and within skin tissue.

Sulfur is vital for glutathione production because it is a key component of glutathione's molecular structure. Specifically, sulfur is part of the amino acids cysteine, which is one of the three amino acids that make up glutathione. Adequate sulfur intake supports the synthesis of cysteine, which in turn supports glutathione levels.

As a source of organic sulfur, OptiMSM® supports glutathione structure & function, helping to combat oxidative stress.

Your brain is your greatest superpower…why not give it the attention it deserves?

BRAIN NOURISHMENT

Though choline can be found in a variety of food sources, recent studies indicate that more than 90% of people aren’t getting enough choline from diet alone.

Choline is essential for nervous system control by supporting the production of important neurotransmitters, like acetylcholine. In the brain, acetylcholine is involved in memory, motivation, attention, and other areas of central nervous function.

Supplementation with choline addresses the nutritional gap, with trial evidence finding that choline ingestion improves cognitive function and nervous system activation and function in as little as 70 minutes after ingestion.

VitaCholine® is the premier source of choline salts. If you’re interested in learning more about , check out the link in our bio!

We want to emphasize the crucial role nutrition plays in fostering a healthy, vibrant mind. The foods we consume have a direct impact on brain health, affecting memory, mood, and cognitive function. A nutrient-rich diet that includes antioxidants, omega-3s, and proper hydration is essential for maintaining cognitive well-being throughout life.

As we age or lead more active lifestyles, targeted supplementation can become an important tool in supporting mental health and mood. Our mood significantly influences our daily performance—when we feel positive, we are naturally more productive and engaged.

In our commitment to neuro-nutrition and healthy aging, we’ve invested in extensive research and development to bring VitaCholine®, a clinically validated cognitive health ingredient for the nutraceutical and functional foods industry.

⭐️Choline Science Update⭐️

The role of choline in neurodevelopment is well established, yet the authors of a new literature review offer an alternate perspective on maternal choline supplementation as it relates to fetal and infant liver health.

Choline is considered an essential nutrient as only a modest amount is produced endogenously in the liver as the form phosphatidylcholine, which is needed to help remove triglycerides from hepatocytes (liver cells) by transporting them into the blood.

Choline demands are heightened in pregnancy and lactation, and often supplementation is required on top of dietary intake to meet daily requirements for optimal fetal growth and development. Low maternal intake of choline can result in the depletion of choline stores, and as a result the accumulation of triglycerides in the liver in both the mother and offspring.

The evidence from this review suggests that the inclusion of up to 250 mg of choline in maternal prenatal supplements should be a safe, effective method of bolstering choline intake closer to the recommended daily amount in pregnancy and breastfeeding.

VitaCholine® is a premier source of choline and found in a number of prenatal supplements worldwide.

What is the connection between oxidative stress and joint health?

Are you aware that moderate levels of oxidative stress, when met with the body's adaptive response, can aid in supporting joint function? However, it's crucial to note that managing chronic exposure to oxidative stressors, and imbalances in antioxidant defense mechanisms is an important part of maintaining joint health. Recognizing and maintaining this delicate balance is fundamental in fostering overall well-being and effectively addressing challenges to joint health.

Antioxidant Defense: the body's antioxidant defense system works to neutralize free radicals and reduce oxidative damage. Maintaining a balance between oxidative stress and antioxidant defense is crucial for joint health. Dietary antioxidants and phytonutrients found in fruits, vegetables can help protect us from oxidative damage. The mineral sulfur is also important to produce glutathione, a key antioxidant enzyme that combats oxidative stress.

Exercise Adaptation: While moderate amounts of exercise trigger oxidative stress in the body, recovery and an antioxidant focused diet can help the body adapt and strengthen muscles, bones and connective tissue, which helps support joint health. However, when we overtrain and limit time for recovery, this can increase oxidative stress and affect joint health.

Achieving a balance with the body's antioxidant defense mechanisms through a healthy diet, regular exercise, and lifestyle habits can help to protect against elevated oxidative stress levels which can over time affect the health and function of the joints.

As a bioavailable source of sulfur, OptiMSM® can help to control oxidative stress levels for maintaining healthy joints.
