NMN
Cellular Vitality

NMN

The Cellular Energy Molecule

When your dog consumes NMN, it's efficiently absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract and rapidly converted to NAD+ in tissues throughout the body. NAD+...

Lion's Mane
Brain & Focus

Lion's Mane

Nature's Brain Booster

Lion's Mane contains bioactive compounds called hericenones (found in the fruiting body) and erinacines (found in the mycelium) that can cross the blo...

CoQ10
Cellular Vitality

CoQ10

The Heart & Energy Molecule

CoQ10 sits in the inner mitochondrial membrane where it shuttles electrons in the electron transport chain—the final stage of cellular respiration whe...

Resveratrol
Cellular Vitality

Resveratrol

The Longevity Activator

Resveratrol activates sirtuins, particularly SIRT1, which regulate DNA repair, metabolism, and cellular stress responses. This mimics some benefits of...

Curcumin
Whole-Body Aging

Curcumin

Nature's Anti-Inflammatory Powerhouse

Curcumin works at the molecular level to modulate inflammatory responses. It inhibits NF-kB (a master regulator of inflammation), reduces production o...

Ashwagandha
Calm & Resilience

Ashwagandha

The Ancient Adaptogen

Ashwagandha works through multiple mechanisms: it reduces cortisol (the primary stress hormone), modulates GABA receptors (promoting calm), and normal...

Phosphatidylserine
Brain & Focus

Phosphatidylserine

The Brain Cell Membrane Nutrient

Phosphatidylserine is incorporated into neuronal cell membranes where it maintains membrane fluidity and supports the function of membrane-bound prote...

ALCAR
Cellular Vitality

ALCAR

The Mitochondrial Energy Shuttle

ALCAR acts as a shuttle, transporting long-chain fatty acids across the mitochondrial membrane where they can be burned for energy. Without adequate c...

L-Theanine
Calm & Resilience

L-Theanine

Calm Focus Without Drowsiness

L-Theanine crosses the blood-brain barrier and increases alpha brain wave activity—the brain waves associated with relaxed alertness. It enhances GABA...

Creatine
Cellular Vitality

Creatine

The Cellular Energy Powerhouse

Creatine is stored in muscles as phosphocreatine. During high-energy demands, phosphocreatine donates its phosphate group to ADP, rapidly regenerating...

Ginkgo Biloba
Brain & Focus

Ginkgo Biloba

Ancient Tree, Modern Brain Support

Ginkgo's active compounds—flavonoid glycosides and terpene lactones—work together to support vascular health. They help relax blood vessels, improve b...

Bacopa
Brain & Focus

Bacopa

The Memory Herb

Bacopa's active compounds, called bacosides, enhance nerve impulse transmission by supporting the growth of nerve endings (dendrites). They also modul...

L-Tyrosine
Brain & Focus

L-Tyrosine

The Focus Amino Acid

L-Tyrosine crosses the blood-brain barrier where it is converted to L-DOPA by the enzyme tyrosine hydroxylase. L-DOPA is then converted to dopamine, w...

Alpha-GPC
Brain & Focus

Alpha-GPC

The Memory Molecule

After ingestion, Alpha-GPC is rapidly absorbed and crosses the blood-brain barrier. In the brain, it is metabolized to release choline, which combines...
