There are many supplement “powerhouse duos” that, when taken together, can improve a person’s overall health. Vitamin C and zinc help boost the immune system and can decrease your chances of catching a cold. Calcium and magnesium can help improve bone and tooth health. But when it comes to longevity, taking the peptide BPC-157 along with probiotic Akkermansia muciniphila can have positive effects on gut health and, ultimately, longevity. BPC-157 strengthens the gut barrier, sealing off potent...

The gut microbiota is incredibly diverse, consisting of trillions of microorganisms, each with its own distinct characteristics and functions. However, in this vast labyrinth of gut microbiota, one bacteria stands out: Akkermansia muciniphila, or Akkermansia for short.  With its potential as the "longevity probiotic" gaining traction, researchers have begun to unravel Akkermansia’s many benefits and abilities when it comes to promote healthy aging while also warding off age-related ailments.1...

In the quest to improve our cognition and enhance our learning abilities, we often overlook one crucial aspect: eye health. Beyond helping us take in the world around us, our eyes play a significant role in how our brains function. One considerable discovery in this realm is the concept of Macular Pigment Ocular Density (MPOD), a factor strongly linked with cognitive prowess and overall brain function. So, what exactly is MPOD, and how does it influence our cognitive abilities? Let’s break it...

Cold plunges, as unpleasant as they may look, can potentially offer many health benefits thanks to the body’s response to cold temperatures. Derived from ancient Scandinavian traditions, the shock of cold exposure can trigger a range of reactions within the body, including vasoconstriction — or the narrowing of blood vessels — and the release of neurotransmitters and hormones, ultimately promoting better circulation and supporting immune function as well as mental clarity.  Cold plunges have ...
