PLT Health Solutions Launches the Longevity Research Initiative Around Its Experiential Longevity Platform
The longevity category has a communication problem. Most longevity products ask consumers to take a leap of faith: invest in your cellular health today, and benefits may arrive years from now. For early adopters and biohackers, that pitch works. For the much larger group of adults in their 40s, 50s, and 60s who want to […]

The Missing Mineral in Beauty From Within: OptiMSM® and the Case for Sulfur
Walk the beauty-from-within shelf at any natural products retailer and the same cast of ingredients dominates: hydrolyzed collagen, biotin, hyaluronic acid, and vitamin C. Brands have built entire product lines around these, and for good reason: the clinical support behind them is strong. But there's a structural mineral underlying every one of those outcomes that […]

DL185® for Sarcopenia and Anti-Aging: Muscles Need a Faster Leucine Signal
Sarcopenia is often described as muscle loss, but that framing understates the real problem. What aging adults lose isn't just mirror-muscle. After 50, strength declines two to three times faster than mass,[1] which means the things that actually matter go first: rising from a chair, climbing stairs, carrying groceries, catching yourself before a fall. […]

India's Ashwagandha Leaf Advisory: What FSSAI Actually Said and Why the Industry Is Pushing Back
Two documents, issued one day apart by two different Indian government agencies, have touched off a global debate about what ashwagandha is, which part of the plant belongs in your supplement, and whether the trade press' characterization of a regulatory action reflects what those documents actually say.
India controls the overwhelming majority of the world's […]

Fighting Sarcopenia with PÜR NATIVE: Why Protein Quality Matters More as You Age
After 30, you start losing muscle. It's slow at first, maybe 1% per year, but the rate accelerates. By the time most people notice something is off (strength declining, recovery slower, body composition shifting without obvious cause), the process has been underway for years.
The condition has a name: sarcopenia, the age-related […]

Strengthera: PLT Health's Clinically-Studied Botanical for Muscle Maintenance and Vitality
GLP-1 receptor agonists have transformed weight loss. Semaglutide, tirzepatide, and retatrutide are delivering results that would have seemed nearly impossible a decade ago. But the same rapid weight reduction that makes these drugs effective also accelerates lean muscle loss in many users. For older adults already dealing with age-related muscular decline, that tradeoff carries serious […]

Iron and Women: How effera® Lactoferrin Supports Every Stage of Your Life
You've been told to eat more iron. You take your supplement. You push through the fatigue. And yet your ferritin stubbornly refuses to move, your hair keeps thinning, and the GI side effects from ferrous sulfate make consistent supplementation feel impossible.
Here's what the "just take more iron" advice misses: iron needs in women aren't […]

K2VITAL: All About Vitamin K2 and Why Quality Matters
Here's the paradox: people consume calcium with the intention to build strong bones, but some of that calcium may end up in the arteries and soft tissues instead of bones.[1] One way to help direct calcium where it's needed? Vitamin K2.
Calcium is essential to life, but it can also be problematic in the […]
