NUTRACEUTICALS
NUTRACEUTICALS
Our clinical research in nutraceuticals focuses on the potential health benefits of natural compounds for various conditions. We investigate their effects on joint health, heart health, cognitive function, digestive health, immune support, and bone health. Through rigorous studies, we aim to explore how nutraceuticals can enhance wellness, prevent diseases, and support overall health.
OUR AREAS OF RESEARCH
JOINT HEALTH
Nutraceuticals for joint health aim to support the maintenance and repair of joint tissue, reducing inflammation and promoting cartilage regeneration. Common ingredients in joint health supplements include glucosamine, chondroitin, and omega-3 fatty acids. Research is focused on understanding their effectiveness in alleviating symptoms of conditions like osteoarthritis and enhancing overall joint function.
HEART HEALTH
Nutraceuticals for heart health are designed to support cardiovascular function and reduce the risk of heart disease. Key ingredients often include omega-3 fatty acids, Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), and antioxidants like flavonoids. Ongoing studies investigate their role in lowering cholesterol, improving blood vessel function, and supporting overall heart health.
COGNITIVE HEALTH
Nutraceuticals for cognitive health are formulated to support brain function, memory, and mental clarity. Common ingredients include omega-3 fatty acids, ginkgo biloba, and B vitamins. Research in this area explores their potential to enhance cognitive performance, slow the progression of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s, and protect against age-related cognitive decline.
DIGESTIVE HEALTH
Nutraceuticals for digestive health are intended to promote gut function, improve digestion, and support healthy microbiomes. Probiotics, prebiotics, and fiber are commonly included in these supplements. Research focuses on their ability to balance gut flora, enhance nutrient absorption, and alleviate digestive disorders like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
IMMUNE SUPPORT
Immune support nutraceuticals aim to strengthen the body’s immune system, helping to prevent infections and illnesses. Common ingredients include vitamin C, vitamin D, zinc, and elderberry. Current research examines their effectiveness in enhancing immune responses, reducing the duration of illnesses like the common cold, and supporting immune function during times of stress or illness.
BONE HEALTH
Nutraceuticals for bone health are designed to support the maintenance and strength of bones, particularly as individuals age. Key ingredients include calcium, vitamin D, magnesium, and collagen. Ongoing research is focused on their role in preventing conditions like osteoporosis, enhancing bone density, and promoting optimal bone development and repair.
