Incretins (GLP-1 and GIP) and the Microbiome
By: Jocelyn Strand, ND, & Shawn Manske, ND

Introduction
The use of incretin analogs continues to rise, with their applications expanding rapidly. These drugs target receptors for glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and gastric inhibitory peptide (GIP), hormones released from the gut in response to meals containing glucose and fat. While known for their role in weight loss, these analogs also influence blood sugar control, cardiovascular health, metabolism, and even neurological function. Ongoing research reveals new roles for these hormones, even decades after GLP-1’s discovery.
Whether you’re treating patients with GLP-1/GIP agonists or supporting natural incretin production, a holistic health approach is vital. Gut health, driven by the microbiome, plays a key role in nutrient absorption, inflammation control, immune regulation, and digestive function. The microbiome also helps trigger the production of GLP-1 and GIP, making it essential to understanding incretin function.
Recent studies highlight the complex connection between gut-derived peptides, gastrointestinal health, and the microbiome, deepening our understanding of the microbiome’s role in incretin production and overall physiology.
A quote from Cell captures the significance of this interaction:
“Enteroendocrine cells (EECs) are specialized hormone-producing cells in the gut epithelium that sense changes in the intestinal milieu ... Accordingly, microbial metabolites interact with the EECs to stimulate or suppress hormone secretion, which act through endocrine and paracrine signaling to regulate local intestinal and diverse physiological functions and impact overall host metabolism. The remarkable success of glucagon-like peptide-1based drugs for treatment of type 2 diabetes and obesity highlights the relevance of investigating microbial regulation of EECs to tackle metabolic
Incretins (GLP-1 and GIP) and the Microbiome diseases through novel microbiota-based therapies.”
Epidemiology of Incretin-related Disorders
Incretin-related disorders are linked to metabolic syndrome, a combination of health issues that includes type 2 diabetes (T2DM), obesity, polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), and metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD). These conditions also contribute to cardiovascular problems such as hypertension (HTN), dyslipidemia, heart disease, and stroke.
It’s estimated that roughly one-quarter of the global population — over a billion people — are affected by metabolic syndrome.
A recent KFF Health Tracking Poll revealed that about 12% of adults have used a GLP-1 agonist, while 6% are currently using one to manage diabetes or to prevent heart attacks or strokes. Among those taking these medications:
• 43% have diabetes
• 25% have heart disease
• 22% are overweight or obese
Despite rising public awareness and use of incretin-based treatments, many individuals face barriers to accessing these medications due to their high costs and limited insurance coverage.
Physiology and Clinical Relevance
Incretin Physiology
GLP-1 and GIP are peptide hormones released from the gastrointestinal mucosa in response to a meal. GLP-1 originates in enteroendocrine L cells, and GIP is produced and released from K cells.
Both peptides play a primary role in regulating glucose homeostasis. Although both enhance pancreatic insulin secretion, these sister peptides work slightly differently:
GLP-1 GIP
• Enhances pancreatic beta cell insulin secretion
• Stimulates enteric and autonomic reflexes (slows gastric emptying, stimulates vagal sensory neurons that regulate appetite)
Because of the breadth of activities initiated by GLP-1 and GIP receptors, their analogs are being studied for a wide range of conditions. While these medications are being utilized primarily for diabetes and weight loss, phase 3 clinical trials are currently underway for:
• Chronic kidney disease
• Alzheimer’s disease
• Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction
• Obstructive sleep apnea
• MASH/NASH
• Cardiovascular health
• Parkinson’s disease
• Cancer
• Skeletal muscle wasting.
Incretins and Diabetes
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is marked by the impaired function of the GIP receptor (GIPR) in both pancreatic α and β cells, resulting in reduced insulin secretion after meals and causing hyperglycemia.
GLP-1 acts in a glucose-dependent manner, meaning it lowers blood sugar only when glucose levels are
elevated, such as after eating. Once blood glucose returns to fasting levels, GLP-1 is broken down by the enzyme dipeptidyl peptidase-IV (DPP-IV), preventing hypoglycemia.5 Because of this mechanism, GLP-1 receptor agonists and DPP-IV inhibitors are used as therapeutic agents in managing T2DM. Furthermore, studies indicate that GLP-1 and GLP-1 receptor agonists enhance insulin sensitivity and improve pancreatic β-cell function, promoting better glucose regulation.5
Incretins and Obesity and Weight Management
Obesity, defined as a BMI over 30 kg/m² with excessive body fat, is a global epidemic linked to metabolic syndrome, osteoarthritis, sleep apnea, GERD, liver disease, cancer, and increased mortality.
GLP-1 not only regulates blood sugar and insulin resistance but also promotes weight loss by slowing gastric emptying and increasing feelings of fullness, leading to reduced food intake.8
The role of GIP in weight regulation is less clear. Traditionally associated with weight gain due to its role in fat storage after nutrient intake, recent studies suggest both GIP receptor agonism and antagonism can aid in weight loss.
Moreover, co-administration of GLP-1 and GIP receptor agonists (e.g., tirzepatide) enhances weight loss and reduces BMI, waist circumference, blood glucose, and HbA1c more effectively than GLP-1 receptor agonists alone.8
Incretins, Cardiovascular Health, and Other Benefits
GLP-1 and GIP have both direct and indirect effects on the cardiovascular system. GLP-1R and GIPR are found in cardiomyocytes and endothelial cells in the heart and blood vessels, while GLP-1R alone is found in vascular smooth muscle cells of blood vessels and the kidneys. They have cardioprotective, nephroprotective, and antiinflammatory actions. Mechanisms linking GLP-1 and GIP to cardiovascular outcomes remain unclear. However,
their ability to reduce blood glucose, blood pressure, body weight, systemic inflammation, and postprandial lipaemia influences favorable reductions in cardiovascular risks.
GLP-1 influences cardiovascular health in the following ways:
● Reduction of gut lipoprotein secretions
● Decreased platelet aggregation
● Reduced infarct size and improved ventricular function in those with myocardial infarction
● Diminished plaque burden and aortic inflammation
● Cardioprotective actions in those with ischemic cardiac injury.9
GIP likely plays a role in the suppression of macrophagedriven inflammation and foam cell formation, leading to lower risks of atherosclerosis, hypertensive cardiomyopathy, and myocardial infarctions.9
Incretins and Neuroinflammation
Metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance are key factors in the development of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. Brain insulin resistance disrupts glucose metabolism, leading to high blood sugar, lipid imbalances, chronic neuroinflammation, and increased blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability. This activates microglial cells, which release pro-inflammatory cytokines and astrocytes, fueling a cycle of neuroinflammation and hyperglycemia. Other effects include:10
● Vascular dysfunction, contributing to dementia
● Nitric oxide toxicity, causing nerve cell death
● Oxidative stress, leading to neuron loss and higher dementia risk
● Excessive mitochondrial respiration, increasing ROS and NF-κB activation
GLP-1/GIP-based drugs, initially for metabolic conditions, are being studied for neurodegenerative diseases. Incretin receptors in neurons, microglia, and astrocytes exhibit anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective, and neurotrophic effects. Studies show GLP-1 protects

rat hippocampal neurons from glutamate excitotoxicity, reverses inflammation-induced synaptic impairments, and reduces amyloid-β neurotoxicity. Additionally, mice with higher GLP-1 levels showed improved memory, cognition, neural growth, and motor abilities.10
Research shows that the microbiome influences the physiology of incretins in several ways:
● Bile Acids. Bile acids (BAs) are second only to macronutrients in stimulating GLP-1 release. The

The Role of the Microbiome
The microbiome influences host GLP-1 production and release through a complex and dynamic combination of signaling pathways mediated by the EECs, shaping the gut-liver axis, production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), and maintenance of the integrity of the intestinal epithelium. The presence of a healthy microbiota affects L-cell differentiation and secretion of incretins and, as such, is required for normal GLP-1 production and release – in particular, postprandial response.
microbiome plays a key role in the Gut-Liver Axis (GLA) by regulating bile production and release. BAs, released by the liver into the small intestine, help maintain GLA homeostasis by emulsifying fats and acting as antimicrobials to control bacterial overgrowth. Uncontrolled overgrowth leads to proinflammatory metabolites, driving chronic diseases. Excess secondary BAs can cause inflammation, cholestasis, gallstones, and cancer. A healthy microbiome mitigates these effects by producing short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), which have anti-inflammatory properties.
● SCFAs. In addition to exerting both local and systemic anti-inflammatory effects, SCFAs influence the production and release of GLP-1 and
GIP. Butyrate has been shown to cause a transient increase in both of these incretins, while other SCFAs have mixed effects. More research is needed
Slowed digestion, whether from the stomach, gallbladder, or pancreas, can contribute to various diseases by inflaming the intestinal lining and disrupting incretin production.

The Influence of the Gut Microbiome on Host Metabolism Through the Regulation of Gut Hormone Release. Front Physiol. 2019;10:428. Published 2019 Apr 16. doi:10.3389/fphys.2019.00428
to identify the intricacies involved. Still, it is clear that a healthy microbiome plays a significant role in maintaining healthy incretin signaling, mediated in part by the production of SCFA.
● Dysbiosis. Damage caused by proinflammatory mediators generated in the presence of dysbiosis can affect the integrity of the GI epithelium, including enteroendocrine cells (EECs) responsible for the production of GLP-1 and GIP.
Clinical Support for Incretin Analog Therapies
Support gastric motility, gallbladder, and pancreatic function
Patients on high-dose GLP-1/GIP analogs often experience delayed gastric emptying and cholestasis, leading to common side effects like nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and constipation.
Botanicals and nutrients offer a natural way to support digestion through multiple pathways. Incorporating these can promote bile and pancreatic enzyme production, helping to reduce the side effects of incretin therapies while supporting the gut-liver axis, gut lining, and microbiome, encouraging natural GI peptide production.
regulation and affecting bile and pancreatic enzyme release, which are essential for toxin excretion.,
Rapid weight loss can release fat-stored toxins faster than the liver, kidneys, and GI tract can detoxify, overwhelming the body’s detox pathways. Microbial dysbiosis also contributes to toxin buildup, disrupting the gut-liver axis, SCFA production, and increasing harmful metabolites like lipopolysaccharides.
To support detoxification during weight loss, restoring microbial balance and enhancing toxin elimination is important. Nutritional support for detox pathways and binders to aid stool excretion can help manage toxins and microbial waste.
Address dietary patterns to establish a new and healthier relationship with food
Many patients seeking weight loss have already struggled with yo-yo dieting, cravings, or disordered eating, often after years of restrictive eating and intense exercise without success. They may also face physical discomfort, bias, shame, and harsh internal dialogue, leading to frustration, mental health challenges, and despair. For these individuals, reducing the constant focus on food is a significant relief, and one key benefit
of GLP-1 agonists is their ability to achieve this.
Research shows that GLP-1 receptor activation in the brain promotes neuroplasticity, offering neuroprotective, neurotrophic, and neuroregenerative effects. This can help break entrenched patterns and form new neural connections, potentially alleviating diet-related mental struggles. By encouraging patients to focus on nourishing their bodies and microbiome during this period, GLP-1/GIP agonists can support lasting changes in diet, lifestyle, and overall health.
Conclusion
Incretin analogs, particularly GLP-1 and GIP agonists, offer promising therapeutic benefits beyond weight loss, including improved glucose regulation and cardiovascular health as well as neuroprotection. As research into these hormones and their analogs continues to expand, understanding their relationship to gut health and the microbiome is essential. A holistic approach that supports digestion, detoxification, and mental well-being can enhance the efficacy of incretin-based therapies, providing patients with sustainable improvements in metabolic, cardiovascular, and neurological health.

ABOUT THE GLYCOCALYX
The endothelial glycocalyx (EGX) plays a pivotal role in vascular function and overall human health. This delicate coating blankets the innermost surface of all blood vessels, giving it an indispensable role in cardiovascular functioning1. The EGX provides a dynamic and responsive semi-permeable barrier between the flowing blood and the endothelial cells.2
The EGX is comprised of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) such as heparan sulfate, chondroitin sulfate, and hyaluronan, and it structurally adheres to the endothelium through proteoglycans like syndecan-1 — which provides the primary backbone of the EGX — and glycoproteins such as CD44, which serves as a receptor for hyaluronan.
These GAGs and core proteins together form an intricate network that ensure the integrity and effective functioning of the glycocalyx.5
The EGX plays a decisive role in preserving the stability of the vascular system by modulating vascular permeability and microvascular tone6. It serves as a protective barrier against intrusion by lipoproteins and other blood contents, while also regulating the adherence of platelets and leukocytes.7
Another crucial function of the glycocalyx is its role as a mechanosensor, converting the shear stress generated from blood flow into intracellular signals within the vascular system.1 A key example is the endothelial production of nitric oxide (NO), which serves as an essential vasodilator and regulator of

Caption: When healthy, the endothelial glycocalyx protects the endothelium as a semi-permeable barrier, while also harboring important antioxidants and molecules and triggering nitric oxide production through the eNOS pathway.
Without a healthy endothelial glycocalyx, a healthy vascular system is impossible. Needless to say, without a healthy vascular system, no organ or system in the body is safe from perturbation.
CAUSES OF ENDOTHELIAL GLYCOCALYX DEGRADATION
Endothelial glycocalyx degradation can result from a wide variety of factors and conditions that compromise the glycocalyx’s production and structural integrity. In many conditions, both acute and chronic, major constituents of the glycocalyx, such as syndecans, heparan sulfates, and hyaluronan, are shed from the endothelial surface9
While not yet ready for routine clinical use, there are urine and blood tests that can measure the amount of shedded glycosaminoglycan (GAG) components of the glycocalyx, indicating degradation. This area of research of the GAGome is ongoing.10 This shedding exposes cell surface receptors to the flowing blood, making endothelial cells more susceptible to insult from lipoproteins and other blood contents.11
The greatest threat to the endothelial glycocalyx comes from inflammatory and oxidative processes.
For example, hyperglycemia, a potent pro-oxidant, is known to degrade the glycocalyx.12 In individuals with Type 1 diabetes, the glycocalyx is half the thickness of healthy controls, and it is thinner still in diabetics with microalbuminuria.13 Microalbumin tests are quick and simple ways to assess the blood vessel (and, by extension EGX) health at the level of the renal arteries.
Even absent diabetes, high blood sugar poses a significant threat to the integrity of the EGX, and hence of the vascular system as a whole.
Inflammatory mechanisms activated during sepsis can degrade and effectively destroy the glycocalyx. These pro-inflammatory components include matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), heparanase, and hyaluronidase, and cytokines like tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin-1beta.[4]
Studies indicate that the presence of low-density lipoprotein may lead to glycocalyx degradation, triggering local platelet adhesion. Conversely, the
loss of glycocalyx protection enables these harmful components to penetrate the endothelial wall. [10]
Lipopolysaccharide (LPS), a bacterial glycoprotein, can almost entirely remove the endothelial glycocalyx in cardiac and pulmonary capillaries. [8] Additionally, ischemia, worsened by oxygenfree radicals during reperfusion, can cause almost complete glycocalyx degradation.[10]
Lastly, age-related thinning of the EGX has been observed in the microvasculature of both mice and humans, indicating that advancing age alone can contribute to glycocalyx damage and resulting health impacts.14, 15
THE EFFECTS OF GLYCOCALYX DEGRADATION
Endothelial glycocalyx degradation has significant implications for organ function and overall health.
Sometimes, a vicious cycle sets in: the organ dysfunction that follows from endothelial injury can trigger further microcirculatory dysfunction, which then escalates into organ ischemia and additional organ damage. [8] The degradation of the endothelial glycocalyx that has been observed in a wide range of pathological and physiological conditions may be an expression of this circular logic. These conditions can include cardiovascular disease, arteriosclerosis, hypertension, hypoxia, renal disease, sepsis, acute respiratory distress syndrome, and certain viral infections. [8]
The shedding of the EGX increases the permeability of the endothelial wall, and this can lead to tissue edema, potentially heightening organ dysfunction and failure16. Other results of EGX degradation include platelet aggregation, leukocyte adhesion, escalated inflammation, hypercoagulability, and an overall loss of vascular responsiveness.[10] Additionally, an excessively permeable endothelial layer is more susceptible to intrusion by lipoproteins and macrophages, leading to the formation of atherosclerotic plaque.17

RESTORATION OF THE EGX
Many of the most common methods to protect cardiovascular health actually work by protecting the endothelial glycocalyx. For clinicians looking to get upstream and protect longevity and healthspan, the many exposures associated with EGX degradation argue for early restoration to enhance prognosis in a wide variety of conditions.
5 Strategies for Endothelial Glycocalyx Protection & Restoration:
1. Providing glycocalyx support through dietary supplements
2. Lipid level control - usually reduction
3. Insulin management, through dietary, pharmaceutical, and/or supplement interventions
4. For individuals with immune overactivation, consider Immunosupression (Hydrocortisone, Etanercept, Poloxamer-188
5. Anticoagulation (Antithrombin and Heparin)
Promising but early pharmaceutical approaches:
A number of pharmacological agents display potential for diminishing glycocalyx shedding. Antithrombin and hydrocortisone have both been shown to protect the EGX, with electron microscopy revealing a mostly intact glycocalyx after treatment.18
Rosuvastatin has been shown to partially restore EGX volume in familial hypercholesterolemia, though it remains unclear whether this effect is due to the statin itself or to a reduced lipid burden, especially as EGX permeability was still elevated.[10] For prevention, lowering Apo B and oxLDL particles would still be beneficial to avoid damaging EGX in the first place.
Others: Clinical evidence has indicated potential benefits of sulodexide, a mixture of natural porcine heparan and dermatan sulfates. When taken orally, these sulfates are broken down in the digestive tract to N-acetylglucosamine moieties, which may enable the synthesis of glycosaminoglycans in the endothelial glycocalyx.[7]
Other promising treatments include antioxidants like: NAC infusion,19 or polyethylene glycol, TNF-α inhibitors, and allopurinol.[10] Other potential agents for repair include tetramethylpyrazine (TMP), an antioxidant and antiinflammatory compound found in Chinese herbal medicine, and thrombomodulin, a component of the endothelium that physiologically protects the EGX,20 and hyaluronan and chondroitin sulfates, both key components of the glycocalyx. [10] Lastly, promoting the expression of glycocalyx synthesis genes could theoretically aid in repairing the EGX, and may suggest new avenues for research.[17]
Dietary Supplements: Rhamnan sulfate from Monostroma nitidum
Clinicians seeking a non-pharmaceutical approach to EGX restoration may consider the organic compound rhamnan sulfate (RS) extract. An extract of rhamnan sulfate from Monostroma nitidum,
a green seaweed, has had beneficial effects on a range of cardiovascular parameters. Benefits have included:
• Inhibition of thrombosis21,22
• Reduction of atherosclerotic plaque23
• Reduction of vessel permeability to LDL24
• Lipid reduction25
CONCLUSION
More than 50 years after its discovery, the endothelial glycocalyx is the subject of an accelerating wave of scientific research. The more that is known about this massive but delicate structure, the more its central role in human health becomes clear . Translation of the science to clinical application is slowly taking place, but there is still a gap between what is known and what is implemented.
The EGX lies upstream of every major vascular function, and is therefore implicated in all the problems that ensue from vascular dysfunction. There is every reason to make protecting the endothelial glycocalyx a clinical priority.

“The paradox of the glycocalyx is its combination of extreme fragility — rapid collapse in response to a multitude of stimuli — and its equally remarkable resilience.
The EGX naturally rebuilds itself when conditions allow. When conditions are adverse, research has revealed many potential interventions to support its regeneration and protection. As cardiovascular disease maintains its status as the leading cause of death, this new science should encourage far more clinical application, especially in the field of increasing healthy years lived.

Taurine and Glycine: The Benefits of Combining These Two Amino Acids

Dietary Intake of Taurine and Glycine
Maintaining our health as we age becomes increasingly important, and nutrition plays a crucial role. Among the many nutrients that support healthy aging, taurine and glycine stand out due to their numerous synergistic bodily functions that support overall health. Although our bodies can produce these amino acids endogenously, the natural aging process can lead to a decline in the synthesis of taurine and glycine.1,2 Additionally, dietary intake of taurine and glycine may not always meet our body’s needs, especially for individuals with low protein intake, vegetarians, or vegans.3,4 Thus, supplementation may be supportive for certain individuals to support healthy aging.
Taurine, a sulfur-containing, conditionally essential amino acid, is abundant in the brain and skeletal and cardiac muscles.5 It is found almost exclusively in animal-based foods such as meat, seafood, fish, and milk (it has been discovered that certain types
of seaweed may be an exception).6,7 Glycine, the simplest and smallest amino acid, has a hydrogen atom side chain and is also considered conditionally essential.8 Glycine can be found in various animaland plant-based protein sources. Epidemiological studies reveal that a low dietary intake of taurine is associated with higher cardiovascular risks,9 while recent studies suggest that glycine levels may be reduced in adults with obesity, morbid obesity, type 2 diabetes, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.10,11
Taurine’s Role in Healthy Aging
Taurine supports healthy aging through various ways:
• Metabolic Health: Taurine promotes normal insulin metabolism, healthy blood sugar metabolism, and healthy lipid metabolism.12–14 A worldwide epidemiological WHO-CARDIAC study surveyed 3,960 individuals from 41 populations. It concluded that the dietary intake of taurine had a significantly inverse relationship to
the values of body mass index (BMI), blood pressure, total cholesterol, and atherogenic index – all of which are risk factors in metabolic conditions.15
• Mitochondrial Function: It supports mitochondrial health, essential for energy production and cellular function.2
• Cognitive Health: Concentrated in the brain, taurine acts as a neurotransmitter or neuromodulator, influencing mood, behavior, memory, and learning.16 It may help to mitigate excitotoxicity by modulating neurotransmission and calcium homeostasis.4,5
• Cardiovascular Health: Taurine supports normal blood pressure by regulating vascular relaxation and promoting nitric oxide (NO) bioavailability.16–18
• Antioxidant Status and Inflammatory Responses: Taurine mitigates oxidative and nitrosative stress, scavenges free radicals and reactive oxygen species (ROS), helps mitigate lipid peroxidation, and supports the antioxidant activity of enzymes like superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase.16,19,20 It also helps to mitigate the production of inflammatory mediators like tumor necrosis factor-alpha, prostaglandin E2, and interleukin-6, and reduce the formation of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs).19,21
• Other Important Roles: Taurine supports healthy bile acid conjugation (supporting fat digestion and absorption), detoxification, and osmoregulation.5
Glycine’s Role in Healthy Aging
Glycine is essential for various functions to support overall health:
• Precursor to Important Metabolites: Glycine is necessary for synthesizing creatine, glutathione, heme, purines, porphyrins, and collagen.3
• Antioxidant Status and Inflammatory Responses: Glycine may promote healthy inflammatory responses during aging by helping to combat “inflammaging.”22,23 As a precursor to glutathione, glycine helps attenuate the adverse effects of oxidative stress.3 Endogenous glutathione synthesis declines
with age, and glycine supplementation has been shown to support healthy glutathione status.3,24
• Neurotransmitter Function and Healthy Sleep Quality: Glycine acts as an inhibitory neurotransmitter and a co-agonist for N-methylD-aspartate (NMDA) receptors, supporting sleep quality and potentially benefiting mood and physiological stress responses.25 In a cross-over trial, volunteers who took 3 g of glycine before bedtime experienced significantly improved “liveliness and peppiness”, “clear-headedness”, and reduced fatigue symptoms the following morning.26 Furthermore, a review demonstrated that 9 g/day of glycine supplementation did not induce daytime drowsiness.27
• Musculoskeletal Health: Glycine promotes collagen synthesis, which is essential for musculoskeletal health.28 Glycine has been shown in vitro and clinically to support healthy tendon recovery and promote cartilage regeneration for individuals with certain conditions, such as Achilles tendinopathy or osteoarthritis.29,30
• Other Important Roles: Glycine supports mitochondrial health.31 Similar to taurine, glycine also promotes the conjugation of bile salts and the digestion and absorption of fats and fat-soluble nutrients.8
The Synergy of Taurine and Glycine
Combining taurine and glycine can offer synergistic benefits for healthy aging. Both amino acids support antioxidant status, mitigate oxidative stress, and promote overall cellular health. Their roles in normal neurotransmitter function and cognitive health complement each other, potentially supporting healthy sleep hygiene, stress responses, and balanced mood. Additionally, their combined benefits on cardiovascular and metabolic health can provide a more comprehensive approach to maintaining health as we age. While taurine and glycine individually offer significant health benefits, their combination can provide a powerful strategy to support healthy aging.

Claiming roughly 17.9 million lives each year, Cardiovascular Diseases (CVDs) are the leading causes of death globally according to the World Health Organization (WHO). Preventative measures can start as early as in our 20s by identifying and improving behavior patterns in exercise, proper weight management, and balanced diets, delaying our chances of CVD-related health concerns and events. While statins have long proven their ability to manage cardiovascular disease risk and atherogenic lipid levels, GLP-1 dual agonists in combination with natural compounds offer a promising strategy without the use of statins and their potential long-term side effects. This article explores how the synergy of these interventions can optimize cardiovascular health.
GLP-1 Dual Agonists and Their Impact
Tirzepatide, a dual GLP-1 agonist, plays a crucial role in enhancing the lipid-buffering capacity of white adipose tissue (WAT). By preventing lipid spillover and ectopic fat accumulation, Tirzepatide and other
known GLP-1 dual agonists address key factors that contribute to an individual’s cardiovascular risk profile by reducing blood pressure, LDL, total triglycerides, and body weight in obese patients. This action helps improve both glucose metabolism and lipid management, reducing the risk of cardiovascular complications. In fact, a recent JAMA study found that GLP-1 dual agonists reduced the risk of stroke, heart attacks, and death from cardiovascular causes by 20% compared to placebo in Type 2 Diabetes patients, making these biomarkers highly effective in identifying an individual’s risk of a cardiovascular event long before the age of traditional detection.
“GLP-1 dual agonists play a crucial role in enhancing the lipid-buffering capacity of white adipose tissue… improving both glucose metabolism and lipid management, reducing [a patient’s overall] risk of cardiovascular complications.”
Reducing Cardiovascular Disease Risk Without
The Role of Polymethoxylated Flavones
Polymethoxylated flavones, found in citrus peels and other plant sources, offer significant anti-inflammatory and lipidlowering benefits. Nobiletin, a citrus-derived flavonoid, has been shown to increase hepatic fatty acid oxidation, decrease fatty acid synthesis, decrease inflammatory gene transcription factors, and enhance circadian rhythms that protect against metabolic syndrome. Additionally, these compounds enhance endothelial function and reduce oxidative stress, complementing the effects of GLP-1 dual agonists in managing cardiovascular risk. When used together, they can provide a robust defense against the progression of atherosclerosis and other plaque-causing blockages affecting blood flow within the body.
The Role of Tocotrienols
Tocotrienols, a subgroup of vitamin E, provide a unique approach to cholesterol management and cardiovascular health by targeting HMG-CoA reductase through a dual mechanism, similar to the performance of statins. However, unlike statins, which competitively inhibit the enzyme and can lead to adverse effects like muscle pain and increased diabetes risk, tocotrienols work at the post-transcriptional level to decrease the enzyme’s production while simultaneously enhancing its degradation through the farnesylation pathway. This dual action not only lowers LDL cholesterol and total cholesterol but also reduces oxidative stress
and inflammation, offering cardioprotective benefits without the potential risks associated with statin use.
In addition to these lipid-lowering effects, tocotrienols improve arterial health by modulating inflammatory pathways, reducing C-reactive protein (CRP) levels, and enhancing endothelial function. This makes tocotrienols an ideal component of cardiovascular management, particularly for individuals seeking statin alternatives.
Sytrinol and the Powerful Effects of Merging Tocotrienols and Polymethoxylated Flavones
Sytrinol, a patented combination of polymethoxylated flavones and tocotrienols, has been shown to reduce lipids and improve cardiovascular parameters across all groups in human trials when tested over placebo. Most importantly, significant reductions were shown in apolipoprotein B (ApoB) levels, which are the biggest indicators of atherosclerotic plaque and a leading measure for the precise count of atherogenic lipoprotein particles (VLDL, LDL, IDL) in individuals. In addition to Sytrinol’s effects on ApoB and lipid reduction, both Sytrinol and Nobiletin, have been shown to regulate sleep patterns while increasing SIRT1 expression, mimicking the benefits of regular exercise.
Synergistic Effects of Leucine and Nicotinic Acid
Recent studies have demonstrated that combining leucine (L) with low doses of nicotinic acid (NA) can significantly reduce atherogenesis. This combination activates the AMPK/Sirt1 signaling pathway, the same pathway activated by exercise, which is crucial for regulating lipid metabolism. By enhancing fat oxidation and improving lipid profiles, leucine amplifies the lipid-lowering effects of NA, offering a potential therapeutic
alternative to high-dose nicotinic acid, which is often poorly tolerated due to side effects. This synergy targets lipid accumulation and inflammation, both key factors in the progression of cardiovascular diseases.
“This combination [Leucine and Nicotinic Acid] activates the AMPK/Sirt1 signaling pathway, crucial for regulating lipid metabolism and inflammation.”
Exercise: The Natural Modulator
Regular exercise remains a cornerstone in managing cardiovascular risks. It improves endothelial function, boosts antioxidant defenses, and reduces inflammatory markers, helping to stabilize atherosclerotic plaques. In addition to the cardiovascular benefits, maintaining muscle mass through resistance training is essential in prolonging an individual’s overall health and longevity. For those unable to engage in sufficient physical activity, exercise mimetic compounds can replicate these effects by activating the same signaling pathways, making it possible to maintain cardiovascular health through alternative means. While the best results would be to

use a combination of both regular physical exercise and exercise-mimetic compounds for maintaining a healthy weight and sufficient muscle mass, the use of GLP-1 dual agonists and Sytrinol can support cardiovascular health and minimize the risks of cardiovascular events.
Conclusion
The goal is simple, to minimize cardiovascular risk an individual needs to maintain a healthy weight, reduce blood pressure, and minimize atherosclerotic plaque. While statins are effective in reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases, combining GLP-1 dual agonists with natural compounds like polymethoxylated flavones and the synergistic effects of leucine and nicotinic acid, alongside regular exercise and/or mimetic alternatives, provides a comprehensive approach to managing cardiovascular disease risk. By targeting multiple pathways involved in lipid metabolism and inflammation, this strategy offers a powerful means to optimize heart health and reduce atherogenic lipid levels. When all converge, they impact the same pathways that statins target without the potential downfalls of using statin drugs, making them a viable and proven option for preventing cardiovascular risks.

The Potential of Topical NAD+ as an Anti-Aging Skin Treatment

The expanded list of twelve hallmarks of aging proposed in 2023 by C. López-Otín et al provides a common framework for the discussion of potential anti-aging therapies. These hallmarks include genomic instability, telomere attrition, epigenetic alterations, loss of proteostasis, disabled macroautophagy, deregulated nutrient-sensing, mitochondrial dysfunction, cellular senescence, stem cell exhaustion, altered intercellular communication, chronic inflammation, and dysbiosis 1. While no single therapy will be able to target all twelve hallmarks of aging, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) offers an opportunity to target as many as six of them.
NAD+ Background
NAD+ is a critical cellular enzyme with a very broad impact on multiple cellular process, including glycolysis, fatty acid oxidation, oxidative phosphorylation, and the TCA cycle 2. It plays significant roles in DNA repair, gene expression, cell death, aging, and the response to oxidative stress 3. It
is well known from introductory biology classes as the partner to NADH in oxidative phosphorylation. It is also the only precursor of NADPH, the phosphorylated version, which is used as a reducing agent in all living things for processes including the Calvin cycle, lipid synthesis, and nucleic acid synthesis 4. Additionally, based on the reversible reaction NADH + NADP+ « NAD+ + NADPH 5, it is involved in cytochrome P450 reactions, nitric oxide synthase reactions, and the recycling of glutathione disulfide back to glutathione 6
Because skin is visible, it is an area where hallmarks of aging will be most readily recognized 6. The aging process in skin involves both biological and morphological changes that can be divided into two broad categories: natural aging and photoaging 6. Natural or chronological aging results from internal changes in body function and structure. Photoaging is caused by changes in the skin because of exposure to ultraviolet light 7. Naturally aged skin typically is dry, thin, and
The Potential of Topical NAD+ as an Anti-Aging Skin Treatment
contains fine wrinkles. Photoaged skin is leathery with coarse wrinkles and shows signs of telangiectasia and uneven pigmentation. While the two types of aging have distinct clinical features, many of the underlying chemical and biological features are similar 8, focused around damage to the extracellular matrix and DNA repair.
NAD+ Effects on the Extracellular Matrix
Connective tissues in the dermis are vital to skin function. They form a support mechanism primarily composed of type I collagen fibrils 9. In comparison with young skin, collagen fibrils in aged dermis are fragmented, disorganized, and sparse; fragmented collagen is 4.3 times greater in skin greater than eighty years old compared to skin twenty-one to thirty years old 9. This fragmentation effects both the function of individual cells in the skin and the mechanical structure of the overall tissue 10 Normal collagen remodeling is primarily managed by matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs); MMP-1 expression is increased in response to oxidative stress and is found in higher concentrations in aged skin compared to young skin 9. NAD+ was shown to reduce the expression of MMP-1 and MMP-3 that is triggered by the inflammatory cytokine interleukin-1 alpha 11. This effect does not appear to be through the MAP kinase of NF-kB pathways; it is thought to be a direct effect of NAD+ or the NAD+-glycohydrolase byproduct of NAD+ which is causing the MMP inhibition 11 .
NAD+ and Oxidative Stress
NAD+ plays an important role in the cellular response to oxidative stress from reactive oxygen species such as superoxide anions, hydroxyl radicals, and hydrogen peroxide 12. When oxidative DNA damage occurs, the DNA repair enzyme poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP) is activated and large quantities of NAD+ are consumed. When damage is mild to moderate, the supply of NAD+ is sufficient to supply PARP activity, but excessive DNA damage, such as prolonged exposure to sunlight, can lead to an energy crisis in the cell due to the insufficient supply of NAD+ 12
NAD+ and DNA Modulation
NAD+ is also an important regulator of the sirtuin
(SIRT) family of enzymes. These enzymes participate in the in the deacetylation of DNA to modulate key transcription factors. In both humans and mice, SIRT1 is thought to promote cell longevity through deactivation of the p53 proapoptotic gene 12. Based on studies in aged Wistar rats, Massudi et al showed that markers for oxidative stress increased with age in human skin tissue, correlating with an increase in PARP activity, NAD+ depletion, and reduced SIRT1 activity 12
NAD+ Supplement Routes and Forms
NAD+ is a very common supplement used in the antiaging industry. Though intravenous injection and oral tablets or capsules are the most common, other routes such as intranasal sprays and topical creams have come to the market. Oral supplements are the most convenient for patients but suffer from poor bioavailability due to their destruction during transit of the digestive system 13. Thus, oral administration often takes the form of NAD+ precursors such as nicotinamide mononucleotide and niacinamide 14. The major benefit of injectable and intranasal forms is that they bypass the problems of the GI tract. Unfortunately, due to the large and hydrophilic nature of the NAD+ molecule, only very small quantities cross the cell membrane as NAD+ where they could preserve or replenish intracellular stores 15. The vast majority injected NAD+ is enzymatically broken down into its precursors, which are subsequently taken into cells to participate in the endogenous NAD+ synthesis process 15
For the purposes of treating skin to improve or ameliorate the hallmarks of aging, topical application of NAD+ is a promising delivery mechanism. Like the injectable and intranasal forms, it avoids the problems of the gastrointestinal tract. Like oral administration, it is very convenient for the patient to self-administer at home. While the minimal direct cellular uptake of NAD+ is a common problem to all delivery routes, it is important to note that the inhibition of MMPs occurs primarily in the extracellular matrix, meaning topical application may provide the most efficient delivery of NAD+ for this purpose. For other mechanisms of action within the cells, topical application may provide a way to directly target the skin while reducing the side effects of systemic administration.
Due to the unstable nature of NAD+ in topical formulations, there is very little peer-reviewed data for this delivery route and further study is needed. One study suggests that refrigeration at 5˚C was sufficient to extend NAD+ ointment stability to ten months with only 20% loss of potency 16, with very good results in the three to six month period. While that study was focused on treatment of psoriasis, it is notable that subjects reported greater
cosmetic acceptability of the NAD+ ointment compared to other topical agents in the study. Anecdotal evidence suggests that there is a burgeoning market of patients experiencing positive results already using topical NAD+ for its anti-aging benefits. NAD+ holds a lot of promise as an addition to any anti-aging skin treatment plan.

Nitric Oxide –Master Hormone And Holy Grail
Of Longevity And Anti-Aging
By: Nathan S. Bryan, PhD

The field of Longevity is exploding. People are taking action to improve their health so they can live longer and better lives free of disease. Biohacking is implementing diet and lifestyle to re-program our cells to improve their efficiency and function
so we can improve our performance at all levels. There are a number of scientifically and clinically proven modalities in the biohacking and longevity fields. However, there is one consideration that is foundational for optimal health and longevity. If
not functional, nothing else will work. If functional, everything else works better. That consideration is NITRIC OXIDE, a hormone that must be replaced as we age.
NITRIC OXIDE IS THE MASTER HORMONE
Most Americans know the importance of hormones. In fact, there is a huge industry of hormone replacement clinics around the world. Everybody knows the older we get, the less our body produces natural hormones including testosterone in men and estrogen in women. The time the body stops making these hormones is called andropause in men and menopause in women. There are amazing health benefits of hormone replacement when done correctly. There are many other important hormones that we should also consider such as thyroid hormone, cortisol, and many others. Most people do not think of nitric oxide as a hormone but back in 2007, my lab was the first to demonstrate that nitric oxide acted as a hormone. Hormones are chemical substances that act like messenger molecules in the body. After being made in one part of the body, they travel to other parts of the body to affect specific activities. Prior to our study in 2007 it was thought that nitric oxide could only act in the cell in which it was produced (autocrine) or a neighboring cell (paracrine). Our seminal paper showed that nitric oxide produced in a single organ or compartment had systemic effects that could signal and protect all other organs. This was a game changer in nitric oxide biochemistry and physiology. But the question was how could it do this since nitric oxide, once produced, is gone is less than one second. The answer is in the more stable metabolites it forms once produced in the body. Nitric oxide is converted to nitrite and also binds to glutathione once
produced to form a molecule called S-nitrosoglutatione. These two molecules extend the biological half-life of nitric oxide from 1 millisecond out to tens of minutes and hours. This allows nitric oxide to affect many other organs systemically and act as a hormone. The original discovery of nitric oxide was as a signaling molecule that led to a Nobel Prize in 1998. However, it wasn’t until our 2007 publication which revealed that nitric oxide is a hormone signaling molecule capable of affecting every organ, tissue and cell in the body when produce anywhere in the body.
THE ENDOTHELIUM, OUR LARGEST ORGAN AND ENDOCRINE GLAND
The inner most lining of cells in our blood vessels is called the endothelium. The endothelium is our largest organ and the main site of nitric oxide production, making it also an endocrine gland that secretes NO gas upon stimulation. Every organ in the body is controlled by its own blood supply. The blood supply to every organ is regulated by the function of its own endothelial cells and its ability to produce nitric oxide. We’ve known for centuries now that every major chronic disease is characterized by a diminished blood supply and reduced circulation to that organ. We see it in Alzheimers’ Disease, heart disease, kidney disease, lung disease, gastrointestinal disease and others. Without sufficient circulation, oxygen and nutrients cannot be delivered to these organs and they begin to fail. There is increased inflammation, oxidative stress and immune dysfunction that results from decreased blood flow and decreased nitric oxide production. Similar
to decreased testosterone production in the testes of men or decreased estrogen production in the ovaries in women, if there is decreased nitric oxide production in the endothelium, we get symptoms and the onset of many diseases. Also similarly, if we replace missing hormones and restore the body’s normal production, we can reverse many symptoms and actually stop the progression of disease. That has been my objective and strategy for the past 20 years. We must replace and restore nitric oxide production in order to combat the effects of aging and age-related diseases. The question has been, how do we do that safely and effectively?
PROVIDE THE BODY WITH NITRIC OXIDE
Based on our 2007 study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, we proved that all we had to do was generate nitric oxide in a single biological compartment and then the hormone effects would take effect. When we replace other hormones such as insulin, testosterone, estrogen or thyroid, we don’t have to give testosterone shots in the testes for it to work. We don’t have to inject insulin into the pancreas and we do not have to inject estrogen into the ovaries for it to work. We can give it in the muscle, in the subcutaneous space or apply topically and then the hormone will do its job. Similarly, we don’t have to produce nitric oxide in the endothelium, we can produce it anywhere in the body and it will have its effects. That is why I chose the mouth or oral cavity as a compartment to generate nitric oxide gas. I was the first and only person in the world to produce a solid dose form of nitric oxide gas. The basis is that an orally disintegrating lozenge would slowly dissolve in the mouth and as it is dissolving active ingredients would come together to produce nitric oxide gas. Once we do that, the nitric oxide and signaling molecules produced from NO gas go systemic and nitric oxide provides its hormone function. The health benefits are measurable and profound. We get better circulation, better oxygen delivery, better stem cell function, reduced inflammation, reduced oxidative stress and better immune function. It basically reverses all of the known causes and consequences of all major chronic diseases.
HOW DO WE REPLACE NITRIC OXIDE HORMONE?
There are hundreds of so-called nitric oxide products on the market. Nearly all of them provide no therapeutic benefits since they do not produce nitric oxide themselves. Most of those products are providing pre-cursors and hoping that when consumed, the human body can produce nitric oxide from it. However, the fundamental basis for nitric oxide deficiency in patients is that they have lost the ability to utilize those pre-cursors to produce nitric oxide. The basis of my product technology that I termed “NITRICEUTICALS” actually produce nitric oxide gas. If your body can’t make nitric oxide, my products do it for you. This is only achieved through an orally disintegrating tablet or through our fermented beet powder that produces nitric oxide gas when placed in water. This cannot be achieved through capsules, gummies, chews that many other companies are selling. If you want the benefits of nitric oxide, then you must find a product that produces it for you. If your body cannot make nitric oxide, then my product technology does it for you. It is that simple. Remember the quote by Stephen Hawking “The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge.” Many companies out there have an illusion of knowledge and yet others deliberately try to deceive their customers. Ignorance is curable through education and the correct information. That is my goal to educate and inform you so you can make informed decisions on what is best for your health and the health of your family. After all, there is nothing more important than our own health.

Organic acids are pivotal in the vast landscape of metabolic processes, serving as intermediates in the degradation of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. These compounds, often measured through urine organic acid tests, provide a snapshot of an individual’s metabolic state, offering insights into various physiological and pathological conditions. This biochemical data is not only important for understanding general health but also plays a significant role in assessing cognitive function and brain health.
The brain, a highly metabolically active organ, requires a constant and efficient supply of nutrients and the rapid removal of waste products to maintain its function. Organic acids are at the heart of this metabolic flux, influencing everything from energy production to the synthesis and breakdown of neurotransmitters. Neurotransmitters such as serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine, regulated by organic acid pathways, are essential for mood regulation, alertness, and cognitive capabilities.
Moreover, the balance of these neurotransmitters is tightly regulated by methylation processes, which involve the transfer of methyl groups to and from molecules, a critical epigenetic signaling tool that governs the expression of genes and the function of proteins. Imbalances in methylation, such as undermethylation or overmethylation, can lead to altered levels of neurotransmitters like serotonin, manifesting in varied cognitive and emotional disturbances.
Understanding the interplay between organic acids and brain function not only enhances our grasp of cognitive health but also directs us toward potential interventions that could mitigate the risks or progression of cognitive impairments. As we delve into the roles of specific organic acids, their pathways, and their impact on neurotransmitter levels, we unveil potential strategies to harness this knowledge for better mental health outcomes and disease prevention.
KEY ORGANIC ACIDS AND THEIR NEUROLOGICAL ROLES
GLUTATHIONE: THE MASTER ANTIOXIDANT’S ROLE IN BRAIN HEALTH AND COGNITIVE PRESERVATION
Glutathione stands out as the master antioxidant in the body, playing a pivotal role in neutralizing free radicals and maintaining the oxidative balance needed for brain health. This tripeptide, composed of glycine, cysteine, and glutamic acid, is important not only for detoxifying harmful substances but also for supporting immune function and thus, indirectly, protecting the brain. In the brain, glutathione helps to prevent the oxidative stress that can lead to neuronal damage, a key factor in cognitive decline and neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s. Furthermore, the synthesis and regulation of glutathione are influenced by genetic factors. Variations in genes responsible for synthesizing and recycling glutathione can affect an individual’s capacity to handle oxidative stress and can influence susceptibility to neurological disorders. Epigenetic mechanisms, which include DNA methylation and histone modification, also play a role in regulating these genes, highlighting the adaptive responses of cells to their changing environment and the potential for nutritional and lifestyle interventions to impact brain health through these pathways.
INDICAN: ITS LINKS TO GUT DYSBIOSIS AND SUBSEQUENT EFFECTS ON BRAIN FUNCTION
Indican, an organic acid produced as a result of tryptophan metabolism by intestinal bacteria, serves as a marker of gut dysbiosis—an imbalance in the gut microbiota. This connection is crucial, as emerging research underscores the gut-brain axis as a significant pathway through which the gastrointestinal tract influences mental and neurological health.
Increased levels of indican in the urine suggest an overgrowth of harmful bacteria in the gut that can interfere with the proper digestion and absorption of nutrients, including those necessary for neurotransmitter
synthesis. Gut dysbiosis has been linked to a variety of cognitive and behavioral issues, from decreased cognitive function to increased anxiety and depression symptoms, illustrating the gut’s role in mental health.
From an epigenetic standpoint, gut dysbiosis can influence the expression of genes involved in inflammation and immune responses, which in turn can affect brain function. The metabolites produced by gut bacteria, including indican, can act as signaling molecules that modify the epigenetic landscape, influencing gene expression in the brain. These interactions highlight the importance of maintaining gut health not only for overall wellness but also as a proactive approach to safeguard cognitive functions and mitigate neurological disorders.
THE SEROTONIN CONNECTION: METHYLATION AND MOOD REGULATION
EXPLANATION OF METHYLATION AND ITS IMPORTANCE IN NEUROTRANSMITTER SYNTHESIS
Methylation is a biochemical process involving the transfer of a methyl group (one carbon atom attached to three hydrogen atoms) onto amino acids, proteins, enzymes, and DNA in every part of the body. In the brain, methylation plays a vital role in synthesizing and breaking down neurotransmitters, which are chemical messengers that govern mood, concentration, sleep, and other cognitive functions. This process is especially important in the production and function of serotonin, a key neurotransmitter that influences mood, emotion, sleep, and appetite. Serotonin synthesis begins with the amino acid tryptophan, which is converted into 5-hydroxytryptophan (5HTP) and then into serotonin. Methylation influences this pathway by regulating the enzymes involved in converting these substances. The proper function of these enzymes ensures adequate serotonin levels and, by extension, balanced mood and cognitive function.
DISCUSSING UNDERMETHYLATION AND OVERMETHYLATION, FOCUSING ON SEROTONIN PRODUCTION
Undermethylation and overmethylation describe conditions where the body’s ability to add methyl groups to its biological molecules is compromised or excessive, respectively. Both conditions can significantly impact brain health and mood by altering neurotransmitter levels, particularly serotonin.
• Undermethylation: This condition often leads to a shortage of methyl groups necessary for the efficient production of serotonin. Individuals who are undermethylated typically have several distinct symptoms and traits, such as seasonal allergies, dry eyes, low pain tolerance, and a history of high achievement. In terms of mood, they may suffer from obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), oppositional defiance, and depression, all linked to insufficient serotonin activity.
• Overmethylation: Conversely, overmethylation results in an excess of methyl groups, which can lead to an overly efficient production of certain neurotransmitters, including serotonin. People who are overmethylated may exhibit symptoms such as anxiety, panic disorders, and hyperactivity. They often report food and chemical sensitivities, along with a tendency towards high anxiety, which can be related to excessive serotonin and dopamine levels.
HOW LOW SEROTONIN LEVELS
CORRELATE WITH COGNITIVE CHALLENGES AND MOOD DISORDERS
Low serotonin levels are closely tied to a variety of cognitive and mood disorders. Clinically, insufficient serotonin can manifest as depression, anxiety, sleep disturbances, and other mood disorders. This neurotransmitter is not only pivotal in regulating mood but also plays a role in cognition, influencing everything from memory to decision-making processes.
The relationship between low serotonin and cognitive disorders is also evident in conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease, where altered serotonin pathways are commonly observed. Studies have shown that managing serotonin levels can help mitigate symptoms and,
in some cases, slow the progression of cognitive decline.
From a broader perspective, addressing methylation imbalances can be a strategic approach to enhancing serotonin production and achieving better cognitive and emotional health. This can include dietary adjustments to increase or decrease methionine intake (a key methyl donor), supplementation with B vitamins (co-factors in methylation pathways), and lifestyle changes to reduce stress, which can negatively impact methylation balance.
OTHER ESSENTIAL NEUROTRANSMITTERS: BEYOND SEROTONIN
DOPAMINE AND NOREPINEPHRINE: THEIR PATHWAYS AND IMPACT ON COGNITION AND EMOTIONAL REGULATION
Dopamine and norepinephrine are two neurotransmitters that play pivotal roles in both the central and peripheral nervous systems. Their influence extends across a wide range of psychological functions, from emotional response to cognitive abilities like attention and decision-making.
• Dopamine: Often dubbed the ‘feel-good’ neurotransmitter, dopamine is integral in the brain’s reward system. It is produced in several areas of the brain, including the substantia nigra and the ventral tegmental area. Dopamine is not only used for experiencing pleasure and satisfaction but also plays a significant role in motor control and cognitive function. It influences focus, motivation, and memory. Disruptions in dopamine levels are linked to conditions such as Parkinson’s disease, characterized by motor control issues, and schizophrenia, noted for cognitive and emotional disturbances. Low levels of HVA, the breakdown product of dopamine, have been associated with Autism.
• Norepinephrine: This neurotransmitter is predominantly produced in the locus coeruleus, an area of the brainstem, and acts as a stress hormone and neurotransmitter. It is pivotal in the body’s fight-
or-flight response, increasing arousal and alertness, accelerating reaction time, and stimulating the release of glucose for energy. In the brain, norepinephrine enhances memory retrieval, attention to detail, and the formation of emotional memories. It is imperative for cognitive alertness and also plays a role in emotional regulation. Imbalances in norepinephrine levels, reflected by low levels of VMA, are associated with mood disorders such as depression, while high levels of VMA are associated with anxiety, as well as attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
CORTISOL AND ADRENAL HORMONES: THEIR ROLE IN STRESS RESPONSE AND MENTAL CLARITY
Cortisol, often referred to as the stress hormone, is produced in the adrenal cortex under the regulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. It has numerous functions including regulating metabolism, reducing inflammation, and controlling the sleep-wake cycle. Its most noted role, however, is in managing how the body responds to stress.
• Cortisol: In the short term, cortisol can provide a necessary boost to energy, heightened memory functions, increased immunity, and a higher pain threshold – all experienced during acute stress situations. However, prolonged elevation of cortisol levels can lead to detrimental effects such as weight gain, high blood pressure, disrupted sleep, and a compromised immune response. Chronic high cortisol can also lead to mental cloudiness and decreased cognitive performance, often referred to as ‘brain fog.’
• Adrenal Hormones: Besides cortisol, the adrenal glands produce other hormones such as adrenaline (epinephrine) and smaller amounts of sex hormones. Adrenaline, like norepinephrine, plays a significant role in the fight-or-flight response, preparing the body for quick action. In terms of cognitive function, adrenaline boosts alertness and can enhance memory consolidation; however, excessive levels can lead to anxiety and decreased concentration over time.
The balance of these neurotransmitters and hormones is necessary for optimal cognitive and emotional
health. Dysregulation can lead to a variety of cognitive deficits and emotional disorders, emphasizing the need for a balanced neurochemical environment for maintaining mental clarity and emotional stability.
NUTRITIONAL INFLUENCES ON NEUROTRANSMITTER PRODUCTION
VITAMIN B6 AND BIOTIN DEFICIENCIES: IMPACT ON NEUROTRANSMITTER SYNTHESIS
• Vitamin B6: Also known as pyridoxine, Vitamin B6 is used for the normal function of enzymes that produce neurotransmitters, including serotonin, dopamine, and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). This vitamin plays a pivotal role in the decarboxylation and transamination reactions that convert amino acids into these neurotransmitters. A deficiency in Vitamin B6 can lead to decreased synthesis of these brain chemicals, which may manifest as mood disturbances, impaired cognitive function, and increased susceptibility to stress and anxiety. Moreover, Vitamin B6 is involved in the modulation of homocysteine levels, an amino acid that, at high levels, is associated with neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s.
• Biotin: Biotin, or Vitamin B7, is another B-vitamin that impacts health, including cognitive functions, through its role in the metabolism of fats, carbohydrates, and proteins. It supports the activities of several enzymes essential for the production of energy and neurotransmitters. Biotin deficiency, though rare, can lead to neurological symptoms such as lethargy, depression, and hallucinations due to its role in synthesizing neurotransmitters that regulate mood and cognitive functions.
DIETARY SOURCES AND SUPPLEMENTS TO SUPPORT NEUROTRANSMITTER HEALTH
To prevent deficiencies and support neurotransmitter health, incorporating rich sources of Vitamin B6 and Biotin in the diet is recommended, along with considering supplementation if necessary:
• Dietary Sources of Vitamin B6: Rich sources of Vitamin B6 include poultry like chicken and turkey, fish such as salmon and tuna, and leafy green vegetables, bananas, and chickpeas. These foods can help maintain adequate levels of Vitamin B6, supporting the production of neurotransmitters and overall brain health.
• Dietary Sources of Biotin: Biotin can be found in a wide range of foods, such as organ meats (especially liver), egg yolks, nuts like almonds and peanuts, soybeans, whole grains, and mushrooms. Regular consumption of these foods can help maintain healthy biotin levels.
• Supplementation: In cases where dietary intake might not be sufficient, or for individuals with increased nutritional needs, supplements can help maintain optimal levels of these vitamins. It’s important to consult with a healthcare provider before starting any supplementation, especially since B vitamins are water-soluble and excess amounts are typically excreted in urine, although they can sometimes cause side effects at very high doses.
Additionally, lifestyle factors such as managing stress, ensuring adequate sleep, and regular physical activity can enhance the body’s ability to utilize these nutrients effectively, thereby supporting neurotransmitter synthesis and overall mental health.
COGNITIVE DISORDERS AND ORGANIC ACID DYSREGULATION
THE CONNECTION BETWEEN ORGANIC ACID IMBALANCES AND COGNITIVE DISORDERS LIKE ALZHEIMER’S
Organic acids play a role in cellular metabolism, including the brain’s energy production and detoxification processes. Imbalances in these acids can indicate or contribute to metabolic disruptions that affect brain health. One clear example is the role of mitochondrial dysfunction in neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s disease. Mitochondria, responsible for energy production, rely
heavily on the proper functioning of the Krebs cycle, where several organic acids like citric acid, alphaketoglutarate, and malic acid are key components.
Disruptions in these cycles can lead to decreased energy production and increased oxidative stress—conditions often observed in Alzheimer’s patients. Moreover, certain organic acids are directly neurotoxic if allowed to accumulate due to metabolic impairments, potentially contributing to the neuronal damage seen in cognitive disorders.
Furthermore, markers such as homocysteine, an amino acid processed in the methylation cycle, can accumulate when there are deficiencies in B vitamins (B6, B12, folate), leading to increased risk factors for Alzheimer’s disease. Elevated homocysteine levels are associated with greater neurotoxicity and higher incidences of vascular issues, which compromise blood flow to the brain and exacerbate cognitive decline.
THE ROLE OF HORMONE METABOLITES AND NEUROTRANSMITTER IMBALANCES IN DEGENERATIVE BRAIN DISEASES
Hormone metabolites also play significant roles in brain health and function. For instance, cortisol, a steroid hormone produced in the adrenal glands, helps regulate metabolism, inflammation, and response to stress. However, prolonged elevated cortisol levels can lead to neuronal damage and are associated with memory loss and decreased cognitive function seen in Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia. Additionally, neurotransmitter imbalances are central to the pathology of degenerative brain diseases. For example, Alzheimer’s disease is characterized not only by the hallmark amyloid plaques and tau protein tangles but also by a significant decrease in acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter important for learning and memory. This decrease is partly attributed to disrupted metabolic pathways influenced by organic acid imbalances.
Neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine are also affected in neurodegenerative diseases, contributing to the mood and behavioral symptoms often seen in these conditions. For example, Parkinson’s disease
involves the significant depletion of dopamine due to the degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in the brain, impacting both motor and cognitive functions.
STRATEGIES FOR ADDRESSING ORGANIC ACID DYSREGULATION
To address these challenges, it’s necessary to ensure metabolic balance and support mitochondrial function through targeted nutrition, supplementation, and lifestyle changes. Diets rich in antioxidants, essential fats, and adequate proteins can support mitochondrial health and reduce oxidative stress. Supplements like Coenzyme Q10, alpha-lipoic acid, and N-acetyl cysteine may help improve mitochondrial function and overall metabolic health. Regular physical activity and strategies to manage stress levels can also significantly impact hormone balance and neurotransmitter production, supporting overall brain health and reducing the risk of cognitive decline.
ADDRESSING FATIGUE AND COGNITIVE DECLINE
THE INTERPLAY BETWEEN FATIGUE, HORMONE LEVELS, AND COGNITIVE FUNCTION
Fatigue, a common complaint in both clinical and everyday settings, is often more than just a symptom of poor sleep; it can be deeply intertwined with hormonal imbalances and cognitive decline. Hormones such as cortisol, thyroid hormones, and sex hormones (estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone) play significant roles in regulating energy levels, mood, and cognitive functions.
• Cortisol: Known as the “stress hormone,” cortisol has a natural rhythm — high in the morning to promote wakefulness and declining throughout the day. Disruptions in this rhythm, whether due to stress, poor sleep, or adrenal dysfunction, can lead to persistent fatigue and reduced cognitive capabilities, such as decreased concentration and memory.
• Thyroid Hormones: These are imperative for metabolism regulation. Hypothyroidism, or low thyroid hormone levels, can manifest as
fatigue, sluggishness, and cognitive slowing, severely impacting daily functioning.
• Sex Hormones: Estrogen and testosterone influence energy levels and brain function. Estrogen enhances serotonin and norepinephrine, impacting mood and cognitive functions, while testosterone levels are associated with energy and motivation. Imbalances in these hormones can lead to fatigue and cognitive fog.
Moreover, neurotransmitter imbalances also play a role in the perception of fatigue. For example, low levels of dopamine can reduce motivation and drive, whereas imbalances in serotonin can affect sleep patterns and mood, contributing to fatigue.
PRACTICAL TIPS FOR MANAGING FATIGUE THROUGH HORMONAL AND NEUROTRANSMITTER BALANCE
Addressing fatigue and preventing cognitive decline require a multifaceted approach. Here are some practical strategies:
1. Regular Sleep Patterns: Ensuring consistent and quality sleep helps regulate cortisol and supports overall hormonal balance, which is crucial for reducing fatigue and maintaining cognitive functions.
2. Balanced Diet: A diet rich in antioxidants, proteins, and essential fatty acids supports neurotransmitter and hormone production. Foods high in B vitamins (like leafy greens and whole grains) and omega-3 fatty acids (such as fish and flaxseeds) can enhance energy levels and cognitive health.
3. Physical Activity: Regular exercise boosts endorphin levels, which can help combat fatigue. It also stimulates the production of more neurotransmitters, such as dopamine and serotonin, which improve mood and energy levels.
4. Stress Management: Techniques such as mindfulness, yoga, or even simple breathing exercises can reduce cortisol levels and improve both mental and physical health.
5. Supplementation: Supplements such as Vitamin D, magnesium, and adaptogenic herbs like ashwagandha
can support hormonal balance and neurotransmitter functions. It’s important to consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new supplement regimen.
6. Hydration: Adequate hydration is vital for maintaining the efficiency of metabolic processes and the transport of hormones and nutrients within the body.
7. Medical Evaluation: For persistent fatigue, a thorough evaluation by a healthcare provider can determine if underlying issues such as adrenal dysfunction or hypothyroidism are contributing factors. Approaches like DUTCH testing can be particularly insightful for understanding hormones and their metabolites.

Collagen & Silicon Key Elements for Connective Tissue Health
Author: Dr. Arland Hill, DC, MPH, DACBN Director of Clinical Education for Biotics Research ®
In the realm of healthcare, particularly for chiropractors, it is paramount to understand the crucial role of connective tissue health, and why supplementing with collagen has become so popular. Central to this understanding are two crucial components: collagen and silicon, both integral in maintaining and enhancing the structural integrity of various body tissues.1
Collagen, the most abundant protein in the human body, constitutes a major part of the extracellular matrix. It is a foundational structural element in bones, tendons, ligaments, hair, skin, cartilage, intervertebral discs, muscles, and even blood vessels. Although there are 28 distinct types of collagen, types I, II, and III account for 80-90% of the body’s total collagen. These types are critical for providing mechanical resilience and support for cell growth. Since age-related decline in collagen synthesis contributes to changes in skin, joints, and other connective tissues, the case for supplementing with collagen has grown stronger in recent years.2
Supplementation with collagen peptides has been shown to support connective tissues in several clinical studies. Benefits include improvements to skin hydration, elasticity, and wrinkling.3 Potential mechanisms include stimulation of collagen and proteoglycans in the skin, as well as enhanced skin turnover.4 It has even been found to improve scores related to mental and social health in a randomized controlled trial of middle-aged participants.5
Silicon is an abundant trace element in the body and a key component of the extracellular matrix, particularly in the bone, skin, and hair.6 It aids in the synthesis of collagen and acts as a cross-linking agent between collagen and proteoglycans. Mesoporosil®, a unique bioavailable form of silicon, has been shown in vitro to stimulate the synthesis of type I collagen and to promote osteoblast function, including the enhancement of bone mineralization.
The constructive interaction between collagen and silicon is noteworthy. Collagen provides the necessary framework for connective tissues, while silicon enhances this framework, contributing to the strength and resilience of these tissues.

Abstract
Telomeres, the protective caps at the ends of chromosomes, are critical for maintaining genomic stability. Their progressive shortening with each cell division is a key mechanism underlying cellular aging and age-related diseases. Emerging evidence suggests that interventions aimed at preserving telomere length, including lifestyle modifications and telomerase activation therapies, may offer significant benefits in delaying the onset of agerelated pathologies and extending healthspan. This article reviews the current understanding of telomere biology, the impact of lifestyle factors on telomere maintenance, and the potential role of telomerase activators, such as TA-65, in clinical practice.
Introduction
Telomeres function as essential guardians of chromosomal integrity, preventing genomic
instability that can lead to cell death or malignant transformation. Their structure, often likened to the plastic tips on shoelaces, prevents chromosomes from fraying and merging with neighboring chromosomes. However, telomeres naturally shorten with each round of cell division due to the “end-replication problem,” leading to eventual cellular senescence or apoptosis. This attrition is closely linked to aging and the increased incidence of age-related diseases, including cardiovascular diseases, cancer, and neurodegenerative disorders.
While most somatic cells exhibit minimal telomerase activity, which limits their ability to counteract telomere shortening, compounds like TA-65 have demonstrated potential in reactivating telomerase and may reverse certain aspects of cellular aging. This review explores the clinical relevance of telomere biology, with a focus on evidence-based strategies to maintain telomere length and promote healthy aging.
Telomere Biology
Telomere length is a key determinant of cellular function and longevity. Shortened telomeres are associated with an elevated risk of various age-related diseases. For instance, epidemiological studies have identified a correlation between shorter telomeres and higher incidences of myocardial infarction and stroke. 1 Understanding telomere biology is essential for clinicians involved in age management and preventive medicine.
Clinical Importance of Maintaining Healthy Telomere Length
Maintaining healthy telomere length is vital for sustaining cellular health and tissue regeneration. When telomeres reach a critically short length, cells either enter senescence, where they cease to divide and contribute to tissue dysfunction, or undergo apoptosis. This loss of cellular proliferative capacity is particularly detrimental in tissues that require constant renewal, such as the skin, immune system, and gastrointestinal tract. By preserving telomere length, clinicians can help ensure that these tissues continue to function effectively, thereby reducing the risk of chronic diseases and promoting longevity.
Lifestyle factors significantly influence the rate of telomere attrition. Although genetic factors establish baseline telomere length, modifiable behaviors such as diet, physical activity, stress management, and sleep quality can either accelerate or decelerate telomere shortening.
Dietary Influence
A diet rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and omega-3 fatty acids is associated with longer telomeres. Omega-3 fatty acids, in particular, have been shown to protect against telomere shortening, suggesting a role in mitigating oxidative stress and inflammation, which are key drivers of telomere attrition.2 Conversely, diets high in processed foods, refined sugars, and unhealthy fats may exacerbate telomere shortening, potentially accelerating the aging process.
Physical Activity
Regular aerobic exercise has been shown to preserve telomere length, possibly through its effects on reducing oxidative stress and systemic inflammation. Clinical studies indicate that individuals who maintain an active lifestyle exhibit longer telomeres compared to sedentary counterparts, highlighting the importance of physical activity in delaying the onset of age-related diseases.3
Stress Management
Chronic stress is a well-established accelerator of telomere shortening, likely mediated through fluctuating cortisol levels and increased oxidative stress.4 Interventions such as mindfulness practices, including meditation and yoga, have been shown to lower stress and may contribute to the maintenance of telomere length by optimizing cortisol production and enhancing telomerase activity.
Sleep Quality
The relationship between sleep and telomere length underscores the importance of sleep in aging and disease prevention. Poor sleep quality or chronic sleep deprivation has been linked to shorter telomeres, likely due to increased oxidative stress and inflammation.5 Clinicians should emphasize the importance of adequate and restful sleep as a simple yet powerful intervention for protecting telomere health.
Telomerase Activation and the Clinical Potential of TA-65
Telomerase activation represents a promising approach to preserving telomere length and promoting healthy aging. TA-65, a small molecule telomerase activator, has garnered attention for its ability to enhance telomerase activity, thereby potentially rejuvenating aging cells. Clinical studies have demonstrated that TA-65 can improve immune function, notably by increasing natural killer (NK) cell activity and reducing inflammatory markers, which may lower the risk of infections and malignancies in older adults.6
Preclinical studies in murine models further suggest that TA-65 supplementation may extend healthspan,
characterized by improved metabolic function, increased physical activity, and delayed onset of age-related diseases.7 Although definitive evidence in humans is still forthcoming, these findings highlight the potential of telomerase activation as a cornerstone of anti-aging therapy.
Clinical Application of Telomere Science
The integration of telomere biology into clinical practice offers healthcare providers valuable tools for the prevention and management of age-related diseases. Telomere length assessments, combined with targeted lifestyle interventions and potential telomerase activation therapies, can form a comprehensive strategy for promoting longevity and improving patient outcomes. Clinicians should educate patients on the importance of telomere health and the lifestyle factors that influence telomere dynamics. By guiding patients on diet, physical activity, stress management, and sleep hygiene, healthcare providers can empower them to take proactive steps
toward healthy aging. Additionally, incorporating telomerase activators like TA-65 into clinical protocols, alongside monitoring of telomere length, can enhance the effectiveness of anti-aging interventions and provide a personalized approach to age management.
Conclusion
Telomere biology offers profound insights into the mechanisms of aging and the potential for interventions that preserve cellular health. By focusing on strategies that maintain telomere length, such as lifestyle modifications and telomerase activation, healthcare providers can help slow the aging process, improve longevity, and enhance quality of life. As research in this field advances, the future of anti-aging medicine holds promise for unlocking new pathways to healthier aging.

Abstract
In humans, Galectin-3 (GAL-3) is a protein that is encoded by the LGALS3 gene. Specifically, it is a β-galactosides and glycan-binding glycoprotein is frequently upregulated by reactive microglia/ macrophages in the CNS during various neurological diseases. While GAL-3 has previously been associated with non-CNS inflammatory and fibrotic diseases, recent studies highlight GAL-3 as a prominent regulator of inflammation and neuroaxonal damage in the CNS during diseases such as multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer’s Disease (AD), and Parkinson’s Disease (PD)1. Through clinical observation, the authors describe the clinically observed benefits of rendering excess GAL-3 bio unavailable.
Introduction
This article aims to illustrate that by rendering GAL-3 bio-unavailable, there is now a potential to reverse all types of dementia utilizing the investigational drug TB006. Doing so absent contraindications to all but a few medications, minimal side effects, and no drugrelated Significant Adverse Events reported to date.
Dementia is a broad term for brain diseases that lead to a gradual or rapid decline in cognitive abilities, affecting memory, coordination, and communication skills. This decline can significantly impact a person’s daily functioning and, ultimately, their mortality. AD is the most common form of dementia, characterized by the deposition of extracellular aggregates of amyloid-β (Aβ) and the formation of intraneuronal tau neurofibrillary tangles. It is important to note
Galectin-3 and Its Association with Dementias: The Potential of TB006 to Reverse Dementias
that recent studies argue that the extracellular amyloid and tau aggregates play a minor role in cognitive decline. Recent research has highlighted the role of GAL-3, a member of the galectin family, in the pathogenesis of AD and other dementias. This article aims to provide an overview of GAL-3, its biological functions, its association with dementia, and case examples by the authors.

A Brief History of GAL-3
• 1982: GAL-3 identified in murine peritoneal macrophages.
• 1991: GAL-3 classified as a galactoside-binding lectin.
• For Diseases:
• Heart Failure: Significant research began emerging in the early 2000s.
• Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD): Associations with GAL-3 were studied in the late 2000s.
• Atherothrombosis: Research on GAL3’s role intensified in the 2010s.
• Neuroinflammation: Studies on GAL-3 in neurodegenerative diseases gained traction in the 2010s.
Biological Functions of GAL-3
GAL-3 is multifunctional and involved in various cellular processes, including cell adhesion, proliferation, cell differentiation, apoptosis, fibrosis, inflammation, tumor progression and metastasis, angiogenesis, microglia activation, antimicrobial activity, cell cycle regulation, chemoattraction, wound healing, glycoprotein and glycolipid interactions, and immune cell activation and responses. GAL-3 is characterized by a conserved sequence within the carbohydrate recognition
domain (CRD). CRD is responsible for its lectinbinding activity. The CRD binds to β-galactosides, facilitating interactions with glycoproteins on the cell surface and in the extracellular matrix.
GAL-3 is versatile and expressed in a wide range of tissues. This includes the immune system, where plays a crucial role in modulating inflammation and immune responses. It plays roles in innate and adaptive immunity, influencing phagocytosis, cytokine production, and T-cell activation. In the central nervous system (CNS), GAL-3 is primarily expressed in microglia, the brain’s resident immune cells.
GAL-3 acts as a first responder fireman to cellular damage and insults in the right amounts. In excess amounts, it can be as impactful as a terrorist employing a weapon of mass destruction.
GAL-3 and Microglial Activation
As the primary immune cells in the CNS play a central role in neuroinflammation, a key feature of many neurodegenerative diseases, including AD. GAL-3 has been identified as a key player in microgliamediated neuroinflammation. It is highly upregulated in the brains of AD patients and animal models of AD, specifically in microglia associated with Aβ plaques2 .
GAL-3 modulates microglial activation through various mechanisms. It acts as a ligand for the triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (TREM2), a key receptor driving microglial activation in AD. The interaction between GAL-3 and TREM2 enhances microglial phagocytosis of Aβ, promoting the clearance of amyloid plaques. Additionally, GAL-3 influences the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, contributing to the neuroinflammatory response in AD2
GAL-3 and Macrophage Activation
Specifically, GAL-3 can drive macrophages towards an M2-like phenotype, which is associated with tissue repair and fibrosis3. However, in the context of chronic inflammation, this can lead to excessive scar tissue formation and numerous
other impairments of normal brain function3
Regeneration of Microglia and Macrophages
As age increases, the regeneration rate of both the microglia and macrophages slows down due to factors like immunosenescence (age-related decline in cellular immune function) and chronic inflammation (often referred to as “inflammaging”). Inflammation caused by excesses of GAL-3 can significantly exacerbate and accelerate these processes.
GAL-3 as a Biomarker for Alzheimer’s Disease
Several studies have explored the potential of GAL-3 as a biomarker for AD. Elevated levels of GAL-3 have been detected in the serum of AD patients compared to healthy controls. The degree of cognitive impairment, as measured by the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) score, has been found to correlate with GAL-3 serum levels4. These findings suggest that GAL-3 could be a valuable biomarker for diagnosing and progressing AD.
In addition to its role as a biomarker, GAL-3 has been implicated in the pathogenesis of AD. Studies have shown that GAL-3 expression is upregulated in response to Aβ deposition and tau aggregation, two hallmark features of AD. The increased expression of GAL-3 in microglia associated with Aβ plaques suggests that it plays a role in the neuroinflammatory response to amyloid pathology5
GAL-3 and Other Dementias
While most research on GAL-3 has focused on its role in AD, there is evidence to suggest that GAL-3 is involved in most other forms of dementia. For example, GAL-3 has been implicated in the pathogenesis of vascular dementia (VaD), a type of dementia caused by reduced blood flow to the brain. In animal models of VaD, GAL-3 expression is upregulated in response to ischemic injury, and its inhibition has been shown to reduce neuroinflammation and improve cognitive function.
GAL-3 has been associated with other neurodegenerative
diseases, such as PD and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). In these diseases, GAL-3 is believed to contribute to neuroinflammation and neuronal damage, like its role in AD. These findings suggest that GAL-3 may be a significant common mediator of neuroinflammation in various neurodegenerative diseases. Of note and in support of this hypothesis, the authors have observed patients in their clinical setting having dementia and accompanied indication of PD respond markedly well to TB006 therapy.
Therapeutic Potential of Targeting GAL-3
Given its involvement in neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration, GAL-3 represents a potential therapeutic target for dementia. Several strategies have been proposed to target GAL-3, including using small-molecule inhibitors, monoclonal antibodies, and gene therapy approaches.
Small molecule inhibitors of GAL-3 have shown some promise in preclinical studies. These inhibitors block the carbohydrate-binding site of GAL-3, preventing its interaction with glycoproteins. The authors are not aware of a successful small molecule inhibitor being successful in human clinical studies.
Monoclonal antibodies targeting GAL-3 have also been developed and are under development. One of these antibodies, specifically TB006 binds to GAL-3 at specific sites, neutralizing its bioactivity and promoting proper functioning of the immune system and its clearance from the brain. In preclinical and clinical studies, this anti-GAL-3 antibody has been shown to reduce microglial activation, Aβ deposition, neurodegeneration, neuroinflammation and has demonstrated the potential to reverse most forms of dementia.
Case Studies

Conclusion
GAL-3 is a multifaceted protein that plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of AD and other dementias. Its involvement in microglia-mediated neuroinflammation and its potential as a biomarker and therapeutic target make it an important focus of ongoing research. Improvement in other secondary indications of subjects treated with TB006 implies the
multiple roles GAL-3 plays in many other diseases. In conclusion, the author believes that TB006’s high selectivity renders excess GAL-3 bio-unavailable and that it is unlikely other factors played a role during or after the treatment of subjects. This is demonstrated by the marked changes observed in several subjects, suggesting that TB006 has the potential to be a transformational therapy not only for Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias, but also for all diseases in which GAL-3 is involved.

How Oxidative Stress Influences Biological Aging

Oxidative stress is a significant determinant of cellular function and longevity, representing the imbalance between free radicals and antioxidants in the body.
This imbalance leads to cellular damage and is a key factor in the aging process beyond chronological age. Through inflammatory processes and early development of age-related diseases, oxidative stress can cause biological aging—a deterioration of the body’s cells and tissues that doesn’t necessarily correlate to the number of years lived.1
This editorial explores the role of oxidative stress in biological aging and discusses strategies to mitigate its effects.
The Science of Oxidative Stress and Aging
Understanding oxidative stress and its impact on aging can reveal the underlying causes of
cellular wear, offering insights into strategies for slowing the aging process. Specifically, examining the balance between damaging free radicals and protective antioxidants helps clarify the causes of cellular deterioration and supports strategies to enhance health span and longevity.
Oxidative stress occurs when there’s an imbalance between reactive oxygen species (ROS), reactive nitrogen species (RNS), and antioxidants within the body. These reactive species are collectively known as free radicals, unstable molecules with an uneven number of electrons, allowing them to react with other molecules easily.
While these reactions are normal cellular processes, they can cause significant damage when free radicals outnumber antioxidants. These molecules can donate an electron to a free radical without becoming unstable themselves, thus neutralizing the free radical and preventing potential damage.
How Oxidative Stress Influences Biological Aging
Maintaining a balance between free radicals and antioxidants is vital for preserving cellular function and overall health. However, when free radicals are in excess or antioxidants are deficient, oxidative stress occurs, damaging proteins, lipids, and DNA—ultimately contributing to cellular aging and dysfunction.7
Biological Age and Oxidative Stress
Research has consistently linked oxidative stress to accelerated biological aging.2 Biological age, as opposed to chronological age, reflects the physiological state of an individual’s cells, tissues, and organs, essentially indicating how “old” these systems are in terms of function and resilience.
Oxidative damage accumulates over time, exacerbated by lifestyle factors, environmental exposures, and genetic predispositions, leading to increased cellular senescence and a decline in regenerative capacities6. This accumulation not only influences the onset and progression of age-related diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and neurodegenerative disorders but also affects the overall healthspan, the period of life spent in good health.
Studies demonstrate a direct link between mitochondrial oxidative stress—the primary source of oxidative stress—and a deteriorated healthspan.1 Thus, managing oxidative stress is essential in slowing biological aging and improving the quality of life in later years.
The Impact of Oxidative Stress on Health
Oxidative stress is closely linked to health, driving cellular damage and aging and triggering agerelated diseases. Understanding its role highlights the importance of managing oxidative balance to prevent disease and promote well-being.
Oxidative stress profoundly impacts cellular and molecular structures, including DNA, proteins, and lipids. This damage plays a central role in the aging process and the functional decline of cells over time. When free radicals outnumber antioxidants, they can attack important biomolecules, leading to oxidative damage.
DNA, the blueprint of cellular function, is particularly vulnerable to oxidative damage.7 ROS can damage DNA by causing mutations and base modifications that disrupt genetic information and integrity.5 By attacking the DNA base guanine, oxidative stress damages telomeres directly and accelerates telomere shortening, accelerating the aging process.6
Additionally, oxidant species can also harm proteins and lipids. Proteins, which perform critical functions such as catalyzing biochemical reactions and signaling, can become denatured or form harmful aggregates when oxidized.7 Lipids, particularly those comprising cell membranes, can undergo peroxidation, leading to the deformation of cell structures—this process is associated with anomalies in cell metabolite transport that can affect physiological function.6 This cascade of damage disrupts cellular homeostasis and can accelerate aging, contributing to the decline in tissue and organ function.9
Age-Related Diseases Linked to Oxidative Stress
As we age, we become more vulnerable to diseases like heart disease, diabetes, neurological disorders, and cancers. However, with accelerated biological aging, these conditions may manifest earlier in life.8 The cellular and molecular damage caused by oxidative stress accelerates the aging process, driving the onset of age-related diseases such as cardiovascular disorders, neurodegenerative diseases, diabetes, and inflammatory conditions.2
Oxidative stress contributes to the development of cardiovascular diseases by promoting atherosclerosis, hypertension, and myocardial infarction. Oxidative damage to lipids, specifically low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, plays a significant role in the initiation and progression of atherosclerosis.6
In diabetes, oxidative stress is both a cause and a consequence of insulin resistance and beta-cell dysfunction.3 High levels of free radicals can disrupt glucose metabolism, leading to hyperglycemia and further oxidative stress, exacerbating the condition.8
Neural diseases such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and Huntington’s are also associated with oxidative stress.9
The brain is particularly vulnerable to oxidative damage due to its high oxygen consumption and abundance of easily oxidizable fatty acids. Oxidative stress can lead to neuronal death and the accumulation of misfolded protein aggregates, which are characteristic of these diseases.4
Finally, oxidative stress can contribute to the initiation and progression of cancer by causing DNA damage, promoting mutations, and altering cellular signaling pathways. It can also affect tumor microenvironments, influencing cancer cell growth, metastasis, and resistance to therapy.5
Assessing Oxidative Stress Markers
Understanding and measuring oxidative stress is pivotal to evaluating its impact on health and disease progression. Various methods exist for assessing oxidative stress markers, offering insights into the balance between free radicals and antioxidants in the body.
Direct Measurement of Free Radicals
Directly measuring free radicals presents significant challenges due to their highly reactive and transient nature.9 Advanced techniques like Electron Spin Resonance (ESR) spectroscopy can detect specific types of free radicals, providing a direct but technically demanding approach to assessing oxidative stress.8
Indirect Measurement of Damage Markers & Antioxidants
Given these challenges, research has shifted toward indirect methods, focusing on oxidative damage markers (e.g., lipid peroxidation products, protein carbonyls, glycation end products) and antioxidant levels. These indirect markers provide a more reliable assessment of oxidative stress by measuring the aftermath of ROS/ RNS activity or the body’s defensive capacity against oxidative damage, thus circumventing the challenges associated with directly measuring reactive species.3
Indirect diagnostic tools can measure markers of cumulative oxidative damage eliminated from the body in the urine and genetic variants that code for enzymes and antioxidants that can significantly impact the oxidative stress response.
These tests provide insights into oxidative damage to DNA, RNA, lipids, and proteins, along with genetic predispositions. Such insights allow for personalized treatment plans that support the body’s natural antioxidants (through dietary sources) for optimal antioxidant creation and recycling.
Strategies to Manage Oxidative Stress
After evaluating the level of oxidative stress, the next step is to implement strategies to reduce and manage this damaging form of inflammation. Key management strategies include:
• Reduce Toxic Burden: Environmental exposure to toxins, heavy metals, pollutants, and industrial chemicals can trigger oxidative stress by catalyzing ROS production, promoting free radical production, depleting antioxidants, and inhibiting their protective functions.5 Testing for toxic burden can identify and help reduce toxins contributing to oxidative stress.
• Focus on an Antioxidant-Rich Diet: Foods like berries, leafy greens, nuts, seeds, and vegetables contain a wealth of antioxidants that directly neutralize harmful free radicals in the body, reducing oxidative stress.4 This approach supports the body’s natural defense mechanisms, promoting cellular health and helping to prevent oxidative damage that contributes to aging and chronic diseases.
• Utilize Precision Supplements and Antioxidants: Personalized supplements can provide essential antioxidants and strengthen the body’s own antioxidant production. These can include nonenzymatic antioxidants such as coenzyme Q10, melatonin, vitamins A, C, E, and selenium.8
• Embrace Polyphenols: Polyphenols, a diverse group of naturally occurring compounds found in plants, have been shown to decrease oxidative damage markers and increase antioxidant levels. Rich sources include fruits, vegetables, tea, coffee, wine, and chocolate.4
• Adopt Healthy Lifestyle Habits: Smoking cessation, limiting alcohol intake, and increasing quality sleep directly combat the accumulation of harmful free radicals, promoting cellular repair and balance.9
How Oxidative Stress Influences Biological Aging
These adjustments are foundational to maintaining a healthy antioxidant-to-free-radical ratio, crucial for minimizing oxidative damage and supporting longevity.
• Understand the Dual Role of Oxidative Stress: While excessive oxidative stress is detrimental, moderate levels induced by optimal exercise can be beneficial. Exercise activates hormesis, where exposure to mild stress triggers adaptive responses in cells and organisms, enhancing their resistance to higher stress levels and improving overall health and function.9 This process strengthens the body’s stress response mechanisms, improving durability and longevity.
The Biological Aging & Health Span Connection
Oxidative stress is inextricably linked to biological aging, serving as both a marker and a mechanism that drives the gap between our biological and
