Healthy mitochondrial function is essential for mental clarity, sustained energy release and everyday cognitive performance. Recent research demonstrates that Witholytin® Ashwagandha may help support brain health by influencing mitochondrial biogenesis and neuroenergetics in cortical neurons. The clinical study¹ shows that Witholytin® phytoactives interact with Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) and Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) signalling pathways, which are involved in neuronal growth, stress adaptation, metabolic regulation and healthy brain ageing.

These mechanisms may help enhance the production, distribution and utilisation of energy within the brain, supporting cognitive performance and resilience. The findings also indicate that Witholytin® Ashwagandha may promote the formation of new mitochondria.

Maintaining metabolic health is a lifelong priority for women, shaped by hormonal changes from puberty through to menopause and beyond. At the centre of this process is the thyroid, a key regulator of energy and metabolism. PureSea® Gold-standard seaweed offers a plant-based source of iodine, supporting normal thyroid function and helping to maintain metabolic balance throughout every stage of life^1,2.

According to science, thyroid acts as the body’s metabolic “control hub”, regulating how efficiently energy is produced and used through the hormones T3 and T4^3,4. In women, this function is continuously influenced by hormonal transitions through life stages⁵. When thyroid activity is suboptimal, even mildly, it can result in reduced energy levels, weight changes and impaired metabolic efficiency^6-9.

What does sustainable Omega-3 production look like in practice? Golden Omega®’s Sustainability Report Video brings the whole story to life, showing how responsible sourcing, operational efficiency and quality assurance all come together to help support premium Omega-3 concentrates with a lower environmental impact. Key initiatives include ongoing sourcing from responsibly managed South Pacific fisheries, protecting marine biodiversity while maintaining quality, traceability and supply chain transparency.

New developments in 2025 included optimisation of crude oil utilisation to improve production efficiency, alongside initiatives focused on recycling, emission reductions and responsible resource management. Significant progress was also achieved through ISO 27001:2022 certification.

Seasonal changes place increased demands on the immune system, particularly during rainy and colder months when exposure to common pathogens rises. Benicaros® is a precision prebiotic fibre derived from upcycled carrot pomace, with research showing the ability to train the innate immune system to respond faster, smarter and stronger, and its capacity to specifically modulate the gut microbiota composition^1,2.

Rather than acting directly on pathogens, Benicaros® supports immune responsiveness by interacting with the gut.

Unlike conventional prebiotics that rely on individual microbiome composition, Benicaros® has been shown to deliver consistent immune benefits across different populations.

Healthy ageing depends on the preservation of body structures that support movement, stability and long-term mobility. This is where OptiMSM®, the leading source of researched, high quality MSM, plays a key role in supporting connective tissue integrity and healthy joint function.

As a source of sulphur, OptiMSM® provides an essential nutrient involved in the structure and maintenance of joints, tendons, ligaments and other connective tissues¹.

Sulphur also supports the production of key molecules such as glutathione, which is central to the body’s antioxidant defence system¹. This helps protect against oxidative stress, a factor associated with age-related changes in joint comfort and function.

As the global population ages, maintaining an active and healthy lifestyle is becoming a huge priority. However, changes in metabolism, muscle mass and fat distribution can make this challenging. Zooca® Calanus® Oil offers a solution, combining a full-spectrum of omega-3 fatty acids, marine policosanols and astaxanthin in a unique wax ester form to support metabolic health & healthy aging.

Scientific research highlights Zooca® Calanus® Oil’s ability to positively influence body composition in active older adults^1-4.

Additionally, studies have shown that Zooca® Calanus® Oil may help to reduce fat mass, alongside increases in lean body mass, helping support muscle maintenance while reducing adiposity^5-7.

Curcumin is one of the most widely researched botanicals in the nutraceutical space, yet not all curcumin ingredients are supported equally by clinical evidence.

Longvida® stands out as one of the few curcumin branded ingredients backed by 85+ scientific publications, spanning human clinical trials, pharmacokinetic studies and mechanistic research. This strong foundation supports credible benefits.

The strength of the Longvida® portfolio lies not only in the quantity, but also in the quality and consistency of its research. Studies have been conducted across recognised academic and clinical institutions, focusing on bioavailability and targeted delivery¹, overcoming traditional challenges associated with poor stability and efficacy.

Seasonal demand for respiratory and immune health support is shaping formulation strategies, with growing interest in clinically validated ingredients that target oxidative stress and inflammatory pathways associated with lung function and respiratory resilience.

Attenutin™ is a specially formulated natural bioflavonoid composition designed to support the protective lining of the respiratory track and maintain healthy lung function. With a long history of safe human consumption, it offers a clinically evaluated botanical approach for respiratory and immune support during periods of increased physiological stress.

Recent research highlights the role of Attenutin™ in supporting respiratory protection under oxidative stress conditions, including modulation of key inflammatory markers such as TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6.

Zooca® Calanus® Oil is a sustainable and rich marine oil bound in a natural form called wax ester, and the only commercially available lipid solution containing substantial amounts of marine policosanols, an important compound of its unique structure.

These long-chain alcohols are not added or enriched. They are a natural, intrinsic part of the oil’s molecular design and a key differentiator to other marine oils.

Zooca® Calanus® Oil contains around 40% marine policosanols, along with a broad fatty acid profile and naturally occurring astaxanthin, setting it apart from conventional marine oils. It also offers impressive, science-backed benefits.

Policosanols have long been studied in nutrition science, mainly from plant sources.
