Science Hub

Twenty-Five Years of Research.
This Is Where It Lives.

We've always believed that the best way to earn trust in this industry is to show your work. So this is where we show ours.

The Science Hub is where you'll find the research behind our ingredients, the thinking behind our formulations, and the conversations worth having about where nutraceutical science is heading. No fluff, no trend-chasing. Just the work.

Effects of Astragalus membranaceus and Panax notoginseng Saponins Extract on the Pharmacokinetics of Whey Protein Absorption, Intestinal Permeability, and Muscle Function

Reseearch URL
This randomized, double-blind human study examined how AstraGin® influences whey protein absorption, intestinal barrier integrity, and muscle function across different age groups. Findings showed enhanced absorption of key amino acids — particularly leucine and valine — alongside improvements in grip strength, muscle mass, and intestinal barrier markers, with the most pronounced effects observed in older study participants.

Astragaloside IV helps limit collagen loss via TGF-β/Smad and MMP-1

Reseearch URL
This in vitro study examined how Astragaloside IV, a key compound in Astrion®, influences collagen levels in human skin cells following induced damage. Findings showed it supported collagen synthesis by modulating key signaling pathways and reducing the activity of MMP-1, an enzyme involved in collagen breakdown.
