Probióticos más allá del tracto gastrointestinal: Fuente de Salud y Bienestar integral

Los probióticos son sobradamente conocidos para el tratamiento de dolencias gastrointestinales pero estas bacterias son unas grandes desconocidas en otras áreas terapéuticas en las que también resulta muy beneficiosas.

En laboratorios KOROTT llevamos más de 10 años investigando la aplicación de tratamientos con probióticos en diferentes áreas de la salud y abordaremos su funcionamiento y sus beneficios en las siguientes áreas:
  – Dermatología: acné, dermatitis atópica, psoriasis y rosácea
  – Bienestar emocional y mantenimiento de ánimo positivo
  – Tratamiento de infecciones urinarias femeninas
  – Tratamiento de control de peso
  – Apoyo y refuerzo del sistema inmunitario

También abordaremos la importancia de la estabilidad de un producto a base de probióticos, ya que al tratarse de bacterias vivas, estas deben sobrevivir al proceso de fabricación y almacenaje para que el consumidor obtenga la máxima eficacia de producto. En KOROTT hemos desarrollado un proceso de fabricación innovador que garantiza la supervivencia de las bacterias durante más de 24 meses desde su fabricación y también en condiciones ambientales normales, a diferencia de la mayoría de los productos del mercado que necesitan ser refrigerados o que directamente las bacterias llegan muertas al consumidor, resultando productos de poca eficacia.

Más allá de la biodisponibilidad: cómo Indena utiliza la tecnologia Phytosome™ para encarar las cuestiones nutricionales modernas

La tecnología Phytosome™ ha recorrido un largo camino desde su concepción en un laboratorio de Indena en Milán en los años 1980. Concebida originalmente para abordar el problema de la vehiculación de derivados botánicos a través de la piel, no pasó mucho tiempo hasta que esta tecnología revolucionaria se aplicó al campo de la nutrición.

Más de 4 mil millones de porciones después, la tecnología Phytosome™ continúa evolucionando y adaptándose a las necesidades y tendencias nutricionales modernas. Si bien la biodisponibilidad sigue siendo una consideración fundamental, los nuevos ingredientes y formatos de vehiculación plantean nuevos desafíos al formular productos botánicos.

Utilizando un enfoque de desarrollo personalizado para cada ingrediente, Indena sabe aprovechar las propiedades únicas de la tecnología Phytosome™ para conseguir una experiencia del cliente en constante mejora. Con ejemplos como Anthocran™ Phytosome™ y Quercefit™, la tecnología Phytosome™ es capaz de mirar más allá simplemente aumentando las concentraciones de los nutrientes en el plasma sanguíneo y obtener un aumento mesurado en los órganos dianas. Ser capaz de obtener el mismo efecto aportando menos ingrediente activo también ayuda a optimizar los ingredientes botánicos con problemas organolépticos o de tolerabilidad.

La formulación única Phytosome™ de Berbevis™ con extracto de semilla de pomelo y proteínas de guisante proporciona una gran tolerabilidad y alivia el amargor típico del compuesto berberina. Mejorando la experiencia inmediata del cliente, Berbevis™ crea una plataforma poderosa para vehicular mejorías clínicamente probadas en normalizar los niveles de azúcar sanguíneo y de colesterol. Por lo que se refiere al más reciente ingrediente de la marca Indena, Relissa™, has sido demostrado que la tecnología Phytosome™ facilita más protección del estrés oxidativo en comparación con Melissa officinalis no formulada y que tiene validación clínica para proporcionar soporte emocional y mejorar la salud del sueño.

Levagen y Levagen+: la alternativa natural para el dolor. Eficacia clínica de Levagen y Levagen+ en el tratamiento del dolor articular, menstrual, cefalea y en la neuropatía diabética 

La palmitoiletanolamida (PEA) fue descrita en 1957 como una sustancia producida por las células de nuestro organismo con importantes acciones relacionadas con la homeostasis metabólica. La investigación durante este tiempo sobre la PEA ha evidenciado su actividad sobre el sistema endocannabinoide y su eficacia en el tratamiento del dolor y como agente antiinflamatorio.

Una revisión sistemática realizada entre 2011 y enero del 2023 de los estudios clínicos aleatorios a doble ciego sobre PEA y dolor seleccionó 11 estudios clínicos que entraron en un meta-análisis publicado en el 2023. En los 11 estudios seleccionados se incluyen 2 en los que se usaron PEA propiedad de Gencor-Pharmako y comercializada con los nombres de Levagen y Levagen+, este último es el nombre comercial de la palmitoiletanolamida (PEA) tratada con la tecnología LipiSperseTM para aumentar su biodisponibildiad.

En la presente ponencia se presentan los resultados obtenidos en los estudios clínicos realizados con Levagen y Levagen+ para el tratamiento del dolor en cuatro áreas diferentes: dolor articular, dismenorrea primaria, neuropatía periférica diabética y dolor de cabeza comparado con ibuprofeno. Los resultados han demostrado clínicamente la eficacia de Levagen y Levagen+ en la reducción significativa del dolor así como de marcadores inflamatorios como la proteína C reactiva y la IL-6.

Cirpusins® your Natural and Safe pathway to weigth loss

Cirpusins® es un extracto estandarizado de los rizomas de Cyperus rotundus que contiene un 6-8 % de estilbenos, en forma de Scirpusin A, Scirpusin B y Piceatannol. El Scirpusin A es un hidroxiestilbeno dimérico de resveratrol y piceatannol, mientras que el Scirpusin B es un dímero de piceatannol.

El Cyperus rotundus es una planta perenne perteneciente a la familia de las ciperáceas, crece de forma natural en regiones tropicales y templadas y se utiliza tradicionalmente para tratar trastornos estomacales y alteraciones emocionales.

La obesidad es una afección que implica un exceso de grasa corporal como consecuencia de un desequilibrio en el consumo y el gasto de energía. Es el resultado de una compleja interacción entre el medio ambiente, la dieta, la genética, el estilo de vida, los trastornos endocrinos, la medicación y los factores psicológicos. Más que una cuestión estética, la obesidad es un problema médico, ya que aumenta el riesgo de padecer enfermedades cardiacas, diabetes, hipertensión arterial y ciertos tipos de cáncer. La obesidad infantil es actualmente un problema de salud pública cada vez mayor en el que la prevención precoz es fundamental. La prevalencia de la obesidad aumenta más rápidamente en las economías emergentes. Para la mayoría de las personas, el índice de masa corporal (IMC) proporciona una estimación razonable de la grasa corporal. Según la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS), los individuos con un IMC de 25-29 kg/m2 se consideran con sobrepeso y ≥ 30 kg/m2 como obesos.

Los estudios preclínicos y clínicos han demostrado las propiedades antiadipogénicas de Cirpusins®. Un estudio clínico en humanos demostró que la suplementación con Cirpusins® controlaba eficazmente el peso y la hipercolesterolemia en individuos con sobrepeso (Majeed et al., 2022).

Los estilbenos de Cirpusins® son polifenoles con múltiples aplicaciones biológicas. Cirpusins® se ha evaluado para el control del peso y el mantenimiento de un perfil lipídico normal.
Suplementos de Cirpusins

  • Ayuda al control del peso.
  • Favorece un perfil lipídico normal.
  • Favorece la pérdida de peso.

Cirpusins® puede utilizarse como suplemento dietético en forma de comprimidos, cápsulas, premezcla en polvo y otras formulaciones alimentarias, para el control del peso.

El probiótico KYOJIN, un legado milenario para la buena salud y bienestar de las personas

Los probióticos son microorganismos saludables, principalmente bacterias, que ingeridos en las cantidades recomendadas producen efectos beneficiosos sobre la salud del consumidor. Un grave problema de los probióticos tradicionales es su estabilidad (supervivencia del probiótico) ya que es indispensable el probiótico arrive activo (vivo) a su sitio de acción, por ejemplo, el intestino.

El probiótico KYOJIN es 100 % estable y activo ya que está formulado en base a esporas de la bacteria beneficiosa de origen japonés Bacillus subtilis natto DG101. Esta bacteria beneficiosa fue aislada del alimento milenario con propiedades pro-longevidad y anti-age en seres humanos llamado NATTO. B. subtilis natto DG101 (KYOJIN) produce sustancias beneficiosas (vitamina K2, PQQ, natoquinasa, enzimas digestivas, antibióticos naturales contra patógenos). 

KYOJIN, además, estimula el sistema inmunológico, el bienestar intestinal y el sistema nervioso, eje intestino-cerebro, efecto psicobiótico; ayuda al mantenimiento de un peso corporal saludable (bajo IMC) y a la prevención y combate de la diabetes en seres humanos. KYOJIN está aprobado para su comercialización en España, es no-GMO, apto vegano y Kosher. 

KYOJIN está disponible para su consumo en forma líquida (frasco gotero) estable a temperatura ambiente y en cápsulas con el agregado de prebióticos (KYOJIN simbiótico: probiótico más prebiótico).

Probiotics beyond gastrointestinal aplication. Discover its unimaginable applications

Probiotics are well known for the treatment of gastrointestinal ailments, but these bacteria are largely unknown in other therapeutic areas where they are also very beneficial.

At KOROTT laboratories we have been researching the application of probiotic treatments in different areas of health for more than 10 years and we will address their operation and benefits in the following areas:
  – Dermatology: acne, atopic dermatitis, psoriasis and rosacea
  – Emotional well-being and maintenance of positive mood
  – Treatment of female urinary infections
  – Weight control treatment
  – Support and reinforcement of the immune system

We will also address the importance of the stability of a probiotic-based product, since these are live bacteria, they must survive the manufacturing and storage process so that the consumer obtains maximum product effectiveness. At KOROTT we have developed an innovative manufacturing process that guarantees the survival of bacteria for more than 24 months from its manufacture and also under normal environmental conditions, unlike most products on the market that need to be refrigerated or that bacteria directly They arrive dead to the consumer, resulting in products with low effectiveness.

Beyond bioavailability: how Indena is using Phytosome™ technology to address modern nutritional issues

Phytosome™ technology has come a long way since its conception in an Indena laboratory in Milan back in the 1980’s. Originally conceived to address to the problem of transporting botanical derivatives through the skin, it was not long until this revolutionary technology was applied to the field of nutrition. Over 4 billion servings later, Phytosome™ technology continues to evolve and adapt to modern nutritional needs and trends.

While bioavailability remains a fundamental consideration, new ingredients and delivery formats bring new challenges when formulating botanicals. By utilising a bespoke development approach for each ingredient, Indena is able to take advantage of Phytosome technology’s unique properties to deliver an ever-improving customer experience. With examples such as Anthocran™ Phytosome™ and Quercefit™, Phytosome™ technology is able to look beyond simply increasing the concentrations of the nutrients in the blood plasma and provide a measured increase in the target organs.

Being able to obtain the same effect which delivering less of the active ingredient itself also helps optimise botanicals with organoleptic or tolerability issues – Berbevis™’s unique Phytosome™ formulation with grape seed extract and pea proteins provides remarkable tolerability and mitigates bitterness of the otherwise notorious compound berberine.

By improving the customer’s immediate experience, Berbevis™ creates a strong platform to deliver clinically proven improvements in normalising blood sugar and cholesterol levels. In the case of Indena’s newest branded ingredient, Relissa™, Phytosome™ technology has been shown to provide better protection against oxidative stress compared to unformulated Melissa officinalis and to be clinically validated as support to emotional and sleep health.

Levagen and Levagen+: the natural alternative for pain. Clinical efficacy of Levagen and Levagen+ in the treatment of joint pain, menstrual pain, headache and diabetic neuropathy 

Palmitoylethanolamide (PEA) was described in 1957 as a substance produced by the cells of our body with important actions related to metabolic homeostasis. Research during this time on PEA has shown its activity on the endocannabinoid system and its effectiveness in the treatment of pain and as an anti-inflammatory agent.

A systematic review conducted between 2011 and January 2023 of double-blind randomized clinical studies on PEA and pain selected 11 clinical studies that entered a meta-analysis published in 2023. The 11 selected studies included 2 in which PEA owned by Gencor-Pharmako and marketed under the names Levagen and Levagen+ was used. Levagen+ is the trade name for palmitoylethanolamide (PEA) treated with LipiSperseTM technology to increase its bioavailability.

This presentation presents the results obtained in clinical studies carried out with Levagen and Levagen+ for the treatment of pain in four different areas: joint pain, primary dysmenorrhea, diabetic peripheral neuropathy and headache compared to ibuprofen. The results have clinically demonstrated the effectiveness of Levagen and Levagen+ to significantly reduce pain as well as inflammatory markers such as C-reactive protein and IL-6..

The KYOJIN probiotic, an ancient legacy for the good health and well-being of people

Probiotics are healthy microorganisms, mainly bacteria, that when ingested in the recommended quantities produce beneficial effects on the consumer’s health. A serious problem with traditional probiotics is their stability (survival of the probiotic) since it is essential for the probiotic to arrive active (live) at its site of action, for example, the intestine.

The KYOJIN probiotic is 100% stable and active because it is formulated with spores of the beneficial bacteria of Japanese origin Bacillus subtilis natto DG101. This beneficial bacteria was isolated from the ancient food with pro-longevity and anti-age properties in humans called NATTO. B. subtilis natto DG101 (KYOJIN) produces beneficial substances (vitamin K2, PQQ, nattokinase, digestive enzymes, and natural antibiotics against pathogens).

KYOJIN also stimulates the immune system, intestinal well-being and the nervous system, gut-brain axis, psychobiotic effect; It helps to maintain a healthy body weight (low BMI) and prevent and combat diabetes in humans. KYOJIN is approved for marketing in Spain, it is non-GMO, suitable for vegans and Kosher.

KYOJIN is available for consumption in liquid form (dropper bottle) stable at room temperature and in capsules with the addition of prebiotics (KYOJIN synbiotic: probiotic plus prebiotic).

Plant proteins are attracting rising interest due to their health benefits and environmental sustainability but little is known about the nutritional value of pea proteins when consumed by older people. In a recent study, the digestibility and nutritional efficiency of PISANE™ pea protein isolate is compared to casein and whey proteins in old rats. The results of this study showed that old rats used pea protein with the same efficiency as casein or whey proteins, due to its high digestibility and amino acid composition. Using this pea protein could help older people diversify their protein sources and more easily achieve nutritional intake recommendations.

Levagen+ for the treatment of neuroinflammation, neuropathic pain and adjuvant against SARS-CoV-2 infection

The inflammation of the nervous system is a complex process involving different types of cells involved in neuropathies such as lumbociatalgia, chronic pelvic pain (dysmenorrhea), trigeminal neuralgia (migraine) and carpal tunnel syndrome among others. Inflammatory mediators are released by mast cells and microglia, producing an amplifying effect of the pain signal. When this happens, our body releases PEA (palmitoylethanolamide), a neuromodulator that stimulates the production of endocannabinoids and has an «entourage» effect on different receptors that reduces inflammation and pain. In addition, more than 50 years ago, PEA demonstrated its effectiveness also in allergic reactions and for the treatment of human influenza.
Levagen+ is an ingredient that contains PEA in a lipid dispersion matrix (LipSperse®), which favors its dispersion in aqueous media and increases the bioavailability of PEA.
Levagen+ has demonstrated its efficacy in different clinical studies: joint pain and inflammation, headache vs ibuprofen, menstrual pain, sleep improvement, peripheral neuropathic pain caused by diabetes and other inflammatory processes currently under study. Recently, in May of this year, the efficacy of PEA (mPEA, Levagen+) has just been published, showing that it binds to the SARS-CoV-2 glycoprotein (Omicron and Delta variants), which causes COVID-19, reducing the viral infection by 70% and also preventing the transmission of new viruses when cells are infected.

VIVAPHARM® Alginates – versatile biopolymers for nutraceutical applications

JRS Pharma’s Portfolio of VIVAPHARM® Alginates consists of Sodium Alginate, Calcium Alginate and Alginic Acid. They are derived from brown algae and as natural based hydrocolloids, they have versatile functionalities. Sodium alginate is available in different grades that cover a big range of viscosities and particle sizes. The sodium alginate VIVAPHARM® Alginate PH R5 is used for anti-reflux applications. Together with a calcium source, it forms a gel-raft in an acidic environment. This mechanical barrier prevents the reflux of gastric acid into the esophagus.

Furthermore, sodium alginate acts as a diffusion barrier in extended release tablet formulations. At the interface of the release medium and the tablet core, the biopolymer forms a gel layer through which the active ingredient diffuses over an extended period. Both sodium alginate and calcium alginate are used in wound care products. They act as a swelling agent with a high water binding capacity keeping the wound moist. In addition, the calcium alginate’s hemostatic properties are beneficial for wound care applications.

The calcium alginate VIVAPHARM® Alginate PH 460 and VIVAPHARM® Alginic Acid PH 060 are used as natural disintegrants. Due to their fibrous structure, a wicking effect combined with swelling enables a fast tablet disintegration.”

Curcuminoids are among the most useful nutritional ingredients for the maintenance of health. It is known that curcuminoids are metabolized extensively. But some of the major metabolites such as the glucuronides have been shown to be pharmacologically inactive since they are not good antioxidants or address inflammation or other health issues in contrast to their parent curcumin(oids) (Choudhury et al., 2015). On the contrary, the reductive metabolites of curcuminoids retain essentially all the useful health-promoting activities of curcuminoids.
