How Helaina Got Here: The effera® Journey, a Major Nestlé Partnership, and What's Coming
In early June 2026, Helaina and Nestlé announced a multi-year strategic innovation collaboration to advance early-life nutrition.

HMB With High-Dose Protein: New Study Shows Added Muscle Benefits in Older Adults
Something interesting happens when researchers pile on the protein. You'd expect that at some point, a high-quality dose becomes sufficient on its own and any added ingredient becomes redundant. A 2026 study in Nutrients by Smith et al. put exactly that assumption to the test.[1] Researchers gave older adults 40 grams of whey protein […]

Iron and the Female Athlete: Why Exercise Suppresses Iron Absorption, and What to Do About It
She does everything right: takes her iron supplement daily, eats her meat and spinach, sleeps enough, and gets bloodwork done when her doctor asks. But six months later, her ferritin has barely moved, she still fades at mile eight of every long run, and her coach is suggesting she double her dose.

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.

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 […]
