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.

At LEHVOSS Nutrition, we are dedicated to sourcing and offering the highest quality ingredients as part of our Essentials portfolio, which is why we are delighted to introduce a new addition to our range: L-5-Methyltetrahydrofolate calcium powder (L-5-MTHF Ca). This ingredient belongs to the folate group of vitamins (Vitamin B9), and its best known as a biologically active and functional form of Folic Acid.
Our Folate L-5-MTHF-Ca has a minimum 99.7% L-5-MTHF-Ca purity, and very good stability matched with a longer shelf life – compared to standard Folic Acid. According to research, Folate L-5-MTHF-Ca is recognised by the body as a “finished” folate, meaning that the human body can utilise it almost immediately without any metabolising required – making it an ideal solution for those suffering with metabolic issues1.

Sustainability is central to Verdure Sciences®’ mission. A clear example is their Bacognize®, Bacopa Extract, where traditional millet and rice farmers now grow bacopa. This initiative supports local communities by providing steady jobs for labourers, positively impacting numerous families. As a result, farmer retention – which started in 2019 – remains strong today.
To ensure high quality and efficiency, polyhouse drying technology has been implemented to reduce drying time by 50% compared to traditional sun drying and in addition, minimise fungal contamination. The entire farming cycle is led by a community farmer group, which oversees operations and receives support at every stage. Expanded warehouse capacity now stores up to 250 metric tons of dried bacopa, ensuring year-round supply and reduced waste. See the impact yourself: Download our Sustainability Report.

Univestin® is a unique and natural, plant-based formula designed for humans that is clinically proven to provide fast relief from joint discomfort. Containing two primary actives – baicalin and catechins – this botanical combination was screened from over 1230 medicinal plants, using Unigen’s PhytoLogix®.
Mirroring trends in the human personal wellness sector, the pet-health market shows significant growth. This opens avenues for companies to diversify into pet health, potentially by introducing a valuable product like Anivestin™ to their product line! Anivestin™ features the same plant-based composition, but is tailored to alleviate joint discomfort in animals while also promoting oral health. Research has demonstrated that these two extracts work synergistically in-vivo to produce an analgesic and anti-inflammatory effect, with regards to both onset and duration.
