Iodine is an essential element required for the function of all organ systems. Despite this, much of Europe is deficient in iodine, and increasingly those on plant-based diets.
Although the importance of iodine in thyroid hormone synthesis and reproduction is well known, its direct effects on the immune system are elusive.
However, a study1 revealed the novel network between human immune cells and thyroid-related molecules and highlight the importance of iodine in regulating the function of human immune cells.
PureSea’s range of naturally innovative seaweed ingredients provide a good source of natural plant-based essential iodine. Use of PureSea allows for numerous EFSA health claims including supporting normal thyroid function and production of thyroid hormones.

Thanks to their stability, postbiotic fermentates have the opportunity to be the new market leader in the gut-health space. EpiCor®, a postbiotic fermentate made through a specialized fermentation process, has a wealth of science supporting its immune and gut health benefits.
In an interview to Nutritional Outlook Dr Justin Green, Ph.D., Director of Scientific Affairs at Embria Health Sciences, explained: “Postbiotics are the beneficial functional components created by fermentation of live microorganisms that are subsequently deactivated, or killed, and then dried into a powder that is easily characterized, studied, and formulated into supplements. EpiCor is fermentation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, or baker’s yeast. After it is fermented, the live yeast is inactivated, or heat killed, and dried. It keeps all those metabolites intact and consistent from batch to batch, which gives it a unique metabolite fingerprint.”

In 2014, researchers at Swinburne University studied the effects of Longvida Optimized Curcumin® in healthy older adults for its benefits in memory, mood, and fatigue.1 The results of this trial showed significant positive results and earned the 2015 NutraIngredients Research of the Year Award.
Today, the same group of researchers have published a partial replication study, further establishing Longvida® as the Cognitive Curcumin of Choice™ and supporting the positive results in cognition and mood first recognized in the groundbreaking study in 2014.
The new study, also conducted at Swinburne University, was a double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-groups "partial replication study evaluating similar effects [of improved working memory and reduced fatigue and stress reactivity in a healthy older cohort] at 4 and 12 weeks Longvida® supplementation." Eighty healthy men and women (aged 50-80 years) were randomized to receive 400mg of Longvida® daily (containing 80mg of curcumin), or a matching placebo.2

Researchers studying the effects of nutritional supplements on skin health have further confirmation that OptiMSM® may reduce visible signs of skin aging even at a low dose of 1gram per day.
Furthermore, in another scientific study recently published, OptiMSM® also demonstrated beneficial effects on hair and nails health, possibly due to its action on keratin.
Details on the latest research and additional evidence explaining the role of OptiMSM® on skin health, can be found in the “OptiMSM® for Skin Review” available for download here.
OptiMSM® is a branded, proven form of MSM, manufactured in USA by Bergstrom Nutrition, through a unique proprietary multi-stage distillation process.

Restoridyn®, a synergistic sports nutrition blend of proprietary polyphenols, has been selected as a finalist for the NutraIngredients-USA Awards in the “Nutrition Research Project” category. The category rewards the most innovative and impactful nutrition research projects, pushing the boundaries of nutritional science.
The main aim of research done on Restoridyn® was to bring awareness to the use of a proprietary blend of polyphenols (as curcuminoids and ellagitannins) to aid in the efficacy of a comprehensive exercise training program for all ages and levels of athletic ability, and in order to promote well-being.
Running is a popular activity/habit for exercise training because it requires very little cost-investment compared to other sports. Unfortunately it can create soreness and inflammation, therefore making subsequent exercise more complicated.

Providing the right nutrition for cognitive development and function is critical from foetal growth and all the way through life. Did you know that iodine is an essential nutrient supporting cognitive health?
Research shows that access to iodine in the diet was key to the evolution of the modern human brain as humans started to consume sources of iodine from seaweed and seafood 2.5million years ago, previously having very limited iodine intake.
This need for iodine in cognitive function remains essential today. However, 50% of Europeans have issues of iodine deficiency, and the UK has levels of up 70% deficiency in some age groups.
Seaweeds offer the only natural, vegan source of iodine. PureSea® seaweed ingredients are standardised to iodine, which allows health claims relating to iodine support to normal thyroid function and cognitive health.
