    SerinAid® PhosphatidylSerine (PS)

    SerinAid® PhosphatidylSerine (PS) is a naturally occurring phospholipid, an essential nutrient for healthy nerve fibers, cell membranes, and neurotransmission.

    SerinAid® assists in nutrient entry into cells and the exit of harmful, stress-related waste products out of cells. It is also involved in transmitting molecular messages from cell to cell.

    Studies show that SerinAid® PS can help improve memory, mood, and reduce occasional stress and fatigue.

    • SerinAid®50P - 50% active concentration of PS powder - for encapsulation and functional food.
    • SerinAid® 70P - 70% active concentration of PS powder - for encapsulation and functional food.
    AlphaSize® Alpha-Glyceryl Phosphoryl Choline (A-GPC)

    AlphaSize® Alpha-Glyceryl Phosphoryl Choline (A-GPC) is an advanced choline compound that can pass through the blood-brain barrier, where it can enhance the brain’s metabolism and increase the release of acetylcholine, the body and brain’s primary neurotransmitter.

    AlphaSize® A-GPC has benefits that have demonstrated a significant increase in the naturally occurring compound acetylcholine (ACh), the body and brain’s primary neurotransmitter chemical to optimize brain health: cognition, focus, energy, and performance.

    AlphaSize® A-GPC is derived from all-natural sources. Numerous pharmaceutical and nutraceutical clinical research studies have evaluated its safety and efficacy.

    • AlphaSize® 50P (powder)
    • AlphaSize® 50WSP (water-soluble powder)
    • AlphaSize® 100P (powder)
    • AlphaSize® 85L (liquid)

    Choline fortification for dairy and dairy alternatives 

    Choline is an essential nutrient vital for early brain development, cell membrane signalling, lipid transport and metabolism1. Natural sources of choline include eggs, beef liver, fish, dairy, soy, nuts, whole grains, and cruciferous vegetables. Most people in the United States consume less than the Adequate Intake (AI) for choline1. Table 1 lists the current AIs for choline. Choline supplementation is an ideal strategy to complement choline deficient diets. 

    Adequate Intakes (AIs) for Choline1

    Birth to 6 months125 mg/day125 mg/day
    7-12 months150 mg/day150 mg/day

    The human body needs choline to synthesize two major phospholipids vital for cell membranes- phosphatidylcholine and sphingomyelin1. AlphaSize® choline also releases acetylcholine neurotransmitter across the nervous and muscular systems. Acetylcholine plays a pivotal role in almost every brain function. During early childhood, choline supplementation supports normal brain development. It is also beneficial for pregnant and lactating women, supporting fetal brain development and infant growth2

    Research shows that choline supplementation may reduce the risk of cognitive decline and neurodegenerative diseases. 

    AlphaSize® A-GPC:

    Key Attributes:

    • Clinically studied
    • Approved for use in products for prenatal, pregnant, and lactating women
    • Contains 40% choline — more than most choline sources
    • Plant-derived alternative to synthetic A-GPC and other choline sources
    • Taste Profile: Neutral taste and stability – Unlike other sources of choline, A-GPC integrates seamlessly into dairy products without compromising taste
    • Available in both liquid and water-soluble powders

    Mediator® Phosphatidic Acid (PA)

    Mediator® plays a role in the MPS (Muscle Protein Synthesis) pathway to boost muscle growth when combined with exercise and adequate protein intake.

    With Mediator®, you can help individuals increase muscle mass, lower fat mass, improve strength, and accelerate aerobic and resistance training performance.

    IronAid® Iron Protein Succinylate (IPS)

    IronAid® Iron Protein Succinylate (IPS) is an iron ingredient compound for many people experiencing iron deficiency and anemia who may also have serious conditions requiring nutritional or clinical intervention. High-risk groups include adolescents, the elderly, women, and those with low dietary intakes of animal meat and ascorbic acid.

    Compared to other traditional iron compounds, IronAid® IPS is a protein-bonded iron compound that does not dissolve in the stomach’s harsh acid. This iron supplement releases iron in the small intestine for gentle absorption with less iron flavor.

    IronAid® IPS has a strong, clinically proven safety record. It provides sustained, long-lasting iron absorption that is not affected by food intake.
